A Cure for Contentment and Complaining Hi, my name is N.C.R., earlier this week I took a short prayer walk. It was a beautiful day, though it was a little cool and I didn't have a hoodie on. I could have chose to be uncontent and to complain. But… I started thinking about all the details in my surroundings. And in my thinking I realized that God made it all for me. He knew long before I did that I would take a walk at that exact time and in that exact place. Since my short prayer walk there have been other times in my week when I have thought the same thing. "God made this just for me." One time this week I was looking at a spectacular sunset. And well even though everyone else in the world could have looked at the same sunset. I got to see a view that no one else in the world got to see. Even if you were standing a few feet away from where I was standing the view would have been different, and if you were standing in the same place I was standing a few minutes later the view would have been different. One time this week I was walking through a light rain with a full milk pail in my hands. It was cool out, but I was still thanking God for making it just for me. If you know me, then you probably know that I do not like the cold or the rain. But just something about this time made all the difference. Maybe it was that fact that I was thinking about God thinking about me. And I was thinking about the fact that God made it for me. And I was thanking God for making everything for me. A bit about seeing God Also another thing I was thinking about this week was seeing God. I started out this week asking myself: "Where have you seen God today?" "Have you seen God today?" And ended the week asking myself: "Where can you see God now?" "What about now?" "And now?" "Where can you see God now?" God is after all everywhere, and if we believe that to be true we should be able to see him everywhere. And we should be able to see him all the time including right now. If you have not got your copy of my children's books about seeing God yet I encourage you to head over to www.sites.google.com/view/everywhere-i-look/home. Also within the next few weeks I am going to release a short film about seeing God. Well how did your week go? My week has been busy. But the busyness is not over yet. I still have to go to the cemetery yet today to record a new cemetery reflection. But by the time you are reading this I may have already gone to the cemetery, who knows I may be dead!!!
