In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)

Today, while eating breakfast, I got lost in a wonderful collage of memories concerning former colleagues, and dear friends of mine, that I was so blessed to have worked with, and have known.   We each worked cohesively in every aspect as a team, but always for the betterment of the residents in the nursing home.

I’m thankful to God for so many things, each and every day of my life. For the past, present, and future…But, today I felt the blessings in full accord and in abundance. The wonderful ladies whom I worked so closely with, brought such joy into my heart, and into the lives of others at the nursing home, and beyond.

As of this writing…most of them have since been called home to the LORD, where I’m sure they received their crowns, and earned a seat at the LORD’s table, after all of their beautiful acts of decency, love and compassion.

I thought of “God’s plans and timing” and realized that my working there at that nursing home, was all part of God’s plan. He led me to an Oasis on earth in all aspects, including my job, my friendship, and my connections to the residents.

All part of His perfect timing, preordaining our steps…bringing us into our realm of where we should be according to His plans. NOT ours, but His. God blesses us with so many things in life and most times we are too busy to realize it.

Stop and take the time to thank Him. Look up and smile and know He has His hands all over your heart as He guides you, and leads you. During your travels, whether it be with family, or friends,  take some time to sharpen each others countenance today.

I can tell you that the precious moments I shared with my beloved friends, and colleagues, will always be in my heart, the joy of our purpose, working side-by-side, along with the peace of knowing we were helping others, is indelibly etched into my soul.

But, that was then, and this is now…so while we’re here on earth, we still have a purpose to fulfill God’s plan.

Be vigilant, follow the Spirit, as He guides you to the path in which you’ve been called, and start creating “new memories.”

And while you’re at it, do it all to the Glory of our almighty God, Amen!

“Father God, thank You for Your blessings in all that we do, according to Your plan and will for our lives, today and always, all glory and honor are Yours Almighty Father, now and forever, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Whoever keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on his master shall be honored Proverbs 27:18 (KJV)

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 (KJV)
