Better days

So my dear, sweet, amazing friend Francoise wrote tonight in a text message to me words that keep things in perspective and give me a lot to praise God for.

"Only by God's grace do you have any mercy in you right now. Otherwise someone is dead right now. Praise God for a heart change. Praise God for actively drawing your attention to His kingdom. Praise God for pursuing you and loving you unconditionally. Praise God for romancing you with his truths and his words. Praise God for mending your broken heart and changing you for the better! :)"

You want to talk about keeping this in right perspective. That is a lot to praise God for.

I'm good today. As I said last night, I am choosing to turn the page. This is not an easy thing to do. In fact, without the grace of God, I wouldn't be able too. But... "praise God for a heart change." I'm moving forward and that is such a good feeling. I'm pressing on and looking for brighter days. I'm realizing the hope found in every sunrise and the chance for another day. I'm thankful that his mercy is new every morning.

Today, I'm thanking God for better days ahead!
