Good Things to Come

I saw this on my friends blog{www.crazyhappyhome.blogspot.com} and was totally touched. Her struggles seem so similar to mine. Being busy and knowing that the people that are so important are being neglected because of all the things taking up my time. I had vowed, before seeing this video, to not get so busy with life that I miss out on it. I have spent the last several days with my kids and have loved it. I have remembered what is important and when I saw this clip it was reaffirmed to me what truly is important. I love this clip...especially the part where he says...Don't you quit...you keep on going...There is happiness ahead...Some blessings come soon, some come late and some don't come until heaven....It will be alright...trust in God and trust in good things to come. I do trust in God...it's just that sometimes I need a reminder that I trust him. Funny how that works. We sometimes just need to be reminded about what it is we truly believe. I am so grateful for friends and family who help to center me when I get a little off balance. I do know it will be alright. I do put my trust in the one sure source of light and happiness, and I will keep going, I won't quit. Even though somedays it would be so much easier to, the end result I am seeking does not include quitting!

I loved this video as well. I saw it yesterday on the church website. I watched it and then made Darin watch it later...I found myself in tears BOTH times! It seems like we just need to remember that life will be alright as long as we keep trying and never give up!
