“We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.” Colossians 1:11-14Once again, my husband Jon has worked himself out of a job! I told him he was too efficient! On Friday, he interviewed with a construction temp agency. They have a job for him………in Texas!
For the past month, he had been working three hours away, which left me single-parenting Monday through Friday. I couldn’t help but wonder if this situation was just God preparing us for something more. It now appears that I was just getting my feet wet!
My frustration, tears and disappointment have passed and I am now resolved to make the best of the situation. There is so much for which I have to be thankful: a home, food, clothing, two vehicles, paid bills, abundance, family, health and work when so many go without. Contentment is relative. For as many as have more, newer, bigger and better than me, many more have less, older, smaller and worse. But, have or have-not, we all can have Christ.
Christ Jesus is every girl’s dream come true – to be known, to be loved, to be accepted, to be rescued by a prince. For that, I am so thankful.
