the mere mention of the word emotion
and some people...
ok
a lot of people
cringe.
emotion
can be a threatening
reality....
and it is
threatening
when it is a certain
kind of emotion.
but that's
not necessarily the
emotion i'm talking
about at the moment.
oh i have a some
emotions around me
that are the threatening kind...
but GOD has been good to me
lately and i am a
non-anxious
presence.
the emotions i savor today are
rooted in these stories:
a daughter who is proving her
courage, independence, and maturity.
a son who is focused,
strong and doing what i believe he was born to do.
a mother and a father who so get me.
a former spouse who laughed with me.
a friend who traveled a long way to visit me.
a sister who is about to travel long miles to visit me.
colleagues i work with....we figured out that team thing.
tennessee friends who bought me dinner and lunch.
emotions
filled with love
gratitude
joy.

I have been using the idea of gratitude in my children's messages. They are for the kids, but I have the entire congregation in mind since some listen to that message and then wander off. I enjoyed reading your gratitude list. You have a lot to be grateful for, and you know this to be true! Praise God!
