Feeling "Lucky"

WARNING: "Churchy" Post. 

Lately, I have been feeling very "lucky."  For example, Dave's job, new insurance, the house selling so quickly, the kids being really good (YAY!), and lastly, my car tire was loosing air and I had to pump it weekly.  I took it in to get fixed and it was FREE! 

As I thought about the "luck" we have been having and I quickly realized that its not "luck," its the hand of the Lord in our lives CONSTANTLY!!!  I don't doubt that it has always been there.  I guess I can see it so clearly as of late.  I love this feeling of knowing that He is watching out for us and knowing that we/I are not alone. 

It really is amazing to me, that when we are more focused on the things we should be doing the things we want to do are still possible. 

At the begging of the year I read a scripture that has stuck with me I can't remember where it is and I have looked and looked... anyway, it basically said to trust in the Lord.  I know we hear it all the time, but I read it in the perfect time for me.  I have been telling myself that since then and it has helped me to really just trust in Him. 

Luck doesn't really exist... We just have to give credit where credit it due and in my case its all because of God's hands in my life!  I am grateful to know that :)

I love how you have to place a warning for a church post LOL
My warning contain swear words and boob talk. LOL

Lau this is a great post for all to read.
We really do need to remember that luck has nothing to do with anything unless we're gambling right?
The Lord does truly love us and we have to have faith that things will be ok and recognize his hand in our lives.
Fantastic.

I enjoyed reading this. You are so right about the Lord looking out for us. And I like how you say when we are focused on what is right, the things we want are still possible. What a wonderful blessing. Thanks for the reminder.

Totally true. When I was little and if someone ever lost anything I would run into my room, kneel down, and pray. I ALWAYS found what was lost. I think that because of the faith I had at a young age the Lord blessed me to have a quick and thorough eye. The Lord is amazing and we are totally blessed by our faith, in simple things and great things. Too bad the our prayers aren't always about lost car keys and homework ;)
