God is Good

 Happy Sabbath

I am thankful for a great week and for the Lord keeping us through it.  I am thankful for a good church service today.  There was a children's program being set up and I thought my son would only be joining the children in singing two songs and that would be it. I decided to join the virtual meeting so he could participate but found out quickly that I would be more involved than anticipated.  The service went well and I am thankful for an opportunity to participate.  My son and I ended up singing a song together and of course I messed up but I picked up and was able to keep going.  My son was not confident with the song to begin with, so I went up to support him and doing so is 1000% out of my comfort zone.  It takes a lot of courage to get up and do these things and I commend those who regularly do so as the Lord has blessed them with talents and gifts.  I was encouraged by a client I work with. He regularly does speaking events around the state and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything.  He has a strong faith in God that keeps him going.  These children are not afraid of anything.  Why should I be afraid?  I shouldn't. If I can do piano, then I can do other things. So I will show up, no matter how uncomfortable I may feel.  God has a mission for me and in His strength I will go forward and do as He wishes. 

I had challenging meetings this week and God helped me through them.  I have a lot more work ahead of me, but I will not make excuses and try to get out of it.  I am thankful that my church sis had her surgery yesterday and she is home recovering. I am thankful to be used to bless others such as the children of my church.  I am thankful I had time to put more air in my tire. I have to get it replaced so I am praying that it will hold up until after Christmas and then I can get that taken care of.  I am thankful for the rain that washed away the snow and ice in my area.  I am thankful that my son is better from last week.  

We had a good week and it's only because of the Lord it went that way.  God is good.
