Jeremiah 29:11-13 KJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [12] Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. [13] And ye shall seek me, and find me , when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Thanking God for the unanswered prayers

So today I did a little Facebook stalking lol, I have to laugh at myself sometimes but anyway I stumbled up on my ex-husband and his new wife’s pages needless to say once I stumbled up on them I had to walk through curious minds want to know right? well maybe I shouldn’t say curious nosy just might be a better term. And as I was browsing through I experienced an unfamiliar feeling but very familiar, unfamiliar because I’ve never felt that feeling when looking at them. familiar because I felt that feeling a thousand times or more when I’ve had genuine joy in my heart for others. I especially felt that feeling when looking in her face and the smile she now carries and I know that that smile is from being genuinely happy, I know because I once carried it for the same man. but what really caught my eye are the moments that they’ve captured and shared with others. the things that he and I used to do. the things that I used to do for him and now she’s doing them.she would tell me I’m stupid for doing what a wife does and what she’ll never do. And maybe I was. But I must say today I felt proud because not only had she been in my life way too longSo today I did a little Facebook stalking lol, I have to laugh at myself sometimes but anyway I stumbled up on my ex-husband and his new wife’s pages needless to say once I stumbled up on them I had to walk through curious minds want to know right? well maybe I shouldn’t say curious nosy just might be a better term.

But I must say today I felt proud because not only had she been in my life way too long over 10 years she was taking notes and learning how to do the things that he want done , I can except that these are things that he wanted he just didn’t want them from me. Today I can except that with a smile and a joyful heart . Because As I look at them I know that they truly belong together. Sometimes we have to thank God for the unanswered prayers.

There’s more to come 

What does Inheritance mean to you

According to Proverbs 13:22 good people leaves an inheritance to their children’s children and for so long when  I’d read and think of this passage  I’d think of money or  material things then my mom passed and as I looked over her life and things she left the material  things didn’t even matter but what does matter is she left love standards morals and great memories things that we  can teach our children snd their children generations how to give love and share how to stand for whats right how to treat others and self and if you don’t  stand for something you will fall for anything now I can’t speak for no one else but from where I stand that type of inheritance beats any monetary inheritance she also left her grandchildren the sweet flavor of faith and the zest of life I say flavor of faith because my moms faith was so strong and she demonstrated it like advertising an irresistible desert and life to her was a refreshing  and new experience daily And thats why it’s been so hard on us and we’re still in shock this woman was in such great shape 67 years young on no meds walked like she was in a marathon every day and loved it took life everywhere she went and shared her zest with everyone she met.As I’ve thought about her and her life this was definitely inevitable which took me to John13:7 When Jesus said what I’m doing now you don’t understand but you will later so although it’s hurting us to the core of our being there is a blessing that we will see and understand later.
