Simple Thoughts

Thankful for the small things

Today was an overall good day. I got into a conversation with my boss as we were driving to their family picnic. Well, it was more of her telling me her opinion about things and me listening. I just have to say that I'm glad money and material things of this world don't matter to me. I mean, money is necessary in the world we live in, but it is not important to me how far I get ahead or if the people I hang around with are "going places" or "doing things with their lives". All the things of this world will pass away. I need to be living for and working for something a bit more everlasting. I am thankful that I have been blessed with some security(and also for the small things He blesses me with each day). But, nothing matters except my eternal security. I pray that the work I do (along with getting me the money I need to get through college and each day) gives glory and honor to God. Not to honor myself or to get myself ahead. Not to strive to reach the top in a world that has become so selfish and self-centered. I want what I do with my life to be God's will, to glorify Him, and to touch the lives of those around me. I also pray that the families that I am involved in through my job will see Christ in me each day.

Well, enough rambling...church in the A.M. telling me it's bedtime
