Church

Right now I feel that God is so aware of me and my life and my feelings - and I'm so thankful!

I returned home from church a bit ago - and once again, I heard exactly what I needed to hear. I walked out feeling good and hopeful and excited. I'm excited about where I am right now and I'm excited about whatever I am going.

Reverend Charles talked about the hell in our lives. Sometimes, hopefully not very often, we describe our lives as hell. And why? He suggested its because we aren't living in accordance to our goodness and to the goodness around us. We create a certain kind of hell in our lives when we have anger, when we makes wrong decisions or hurt people around us. We create hell when we try and change situations or people that we have absolutely no control over. And we create hell when he don't have a thankful heart.

Charles challenged us to accept the moments in our lives that are hell. And let the feeling of being in a self produced hell motivate us to make better choices, forgive a little easier and have the eyes to see the beauty and goodness in ourselves and the world. Lastly, he challenged us to accept each moment as our moment. Accept it entirely. And appreciate it because that is our moment.

I loved the message and will continue to reflect on it.

God is good. I am thankful.
