The list could go on forever

• Hurtful words
• People who refuse to listen
• The clutter of a chaotic schedule
• Pain
• Difficult personalities
• Having to deal with consequences of others’ poor choices

The list could go on forever.

• Getting to stay home and be with my kids
• Having a husband who loves me well
• Access to a God who always listens, no matter what time of day
• The clear, deep well of scripture
• The love of good friends
• The hope of heaven
• Flowers nodding in the breeze
• God’s grace (still!) for me

The list could go on forever.

Sometimes, the question is not “is it true” but rather, where will I set my eyes? Where will I focus my gaze?

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways. Psalms 119:37

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
  In the light of His glory and grace. ~ Helen Lemmel
