My George

Today began like any other and every other this year.  The alarm, make the coffee, get the boys up, get them to school and then we do our morning all over the next day....

But my husband came home to get the truck to run help out a friend.  My husband is the busiest, most productive, most humble person I know.  Hard worker, good thinker, very unselfish.

Later he came home with some trouble- and I have to wonder why people are so greedy and dishonest.  They would sell themselves out for a a couple grand.


Well, we will find out what will transpire shortly- but in the meantime, I was thinking about things and have to look at it this way.  I am a fortunate woman, I have a wonderful husband, we have two beautiful children, and some very wonderful family and  friends.... My thoughts on what is going on today are: George Bailey... I look at how he lived his life and though it is just a movie-  I see my husband.  A good, honest man.  We can not change the world around us-  and when it seems to be spiraling out of control we must trust that something big is about to happen.  To us, for us or in spite of us and try to find some purpose in it.



We serve a loving and powerful God.  But joy is not found in things- it is within us-  and only faith in Jesus can bring us out of despair and give us hope that the future will be bright.  The Light of Him shining on us, in us and through us- in the good and bad times.

But we are still human and these trials are painful.  So I pray that he will triumph over this setback and that whatever happens he is not discouraged.  He has worked hard and done all that he could do to succeed without backstabbing or trampling on others. He is like no other man on this earth.  I am so blessed and I give thanks to God every day to be his wife.
