FRONT PORCH

As I spent this past week working on the deck and complaining  at the end of each day of how my feet and back hurt, I come to realize how fortunate I am.  At the end of those five days, I went to TNT  a flower shop outside of Hamilton and my amazing husband bought me some BEAUTIFUL hanging baskets for the front porch.  How grateful I am to have a front porch to hang my new baskets of flowers.
   So many times I take for granted what I have, always wanting more  and most of the times not being satisfied with what I have already.
  Lately things are becoming less and less important , and by things I mean material .  I am very blessed with what God has allowed me to have and entrusted me to take care of.  But I fall short everyday.
   I am glad to call myself a  Christian , not because of anything that I can do or know(which is not a lot) but because I have a daddy with so much grace and love I can't fail!  And when I do, I know He still loves me.... I am His favorite.  If God had a wallet, my picture would be in it.  I am on the front of His refrigerator!  How lucky I am.
  God gave me those beautiful flowers to enjoy and take care off.  He has given me relationships and family and good friends also to take care of!  I know I will fail at some point, but will try harder everyday that He gives me to be the best that He created me to be!
   It is a journey worth seeking and a relationship with HIM is the best friendship anyone can dream of.  You will never be disappointed!!!
