Are you Happy? Content?

It hit me this morning.  I am happy.  My trailer makes me happy.  The beach makes me happy.  My used car makes me happy.

For many years I second guessed everything.  I lived in the "what ifs".  I prayed for God's will and when He set it in front of me, I argued with Him about it.  I always said, "if it is right, it will work out."  I said it, but too often didn't follow my own advice.

I am so glad that God's love is long suffering and continues regardless of where we might be in life.  I am so glad He didn't stop trying to help me see what is good and right.  That makes me happy.

When I was eight years old, I asked Jesus Christ to become the center of my life.  Now, I am looking at His footsteps through the past and how they have led me and guided me over the years. The consistency of His presence has given me a rope to hang onto.   And now, I realize that the peace I often yearned for is a permanent guest in my life.

Things will change.  Life will not always be calm, like today.  But, I know that I can rely on Him being faithful to me.
