.. an attitude of gratitude and PEACE...

love it when all I can do is break out in praise and thanksgiving.
today an ordeal that started on May 9th of last year, came to an end.
not quite, not until closing on March 6, but.. it did.

thankful that things will get a little easier in less than 2 months.
that's amazing.
God is so good.
He always comes through for me.
It's just who He is.
That's why I have had this peace since early July.
a peace that has so much to do with the One who gives it,
supernaturally.. but also, like He points it out..
is clearly related to and attitude of gratitude..

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

don't worry...because you know that the One who controls all things ultimately has already given you the biggest gift, salvation through His son, so sure He will give you all you need for life and godliness,

don't worry because He is good, all the time, He is full of this everlasting love for you.

He keeps His promises, He is trustworthy and faithful

that's how I know Him..

so don't worry, instead tell Him everything...

and here it comes: THANK Him for everything, what He has done in the past and what is going on right now...

even for the bad???

yup, even for the bad.

because, if He allows it, He must have a purpose for it.. again, informed by His goodness..

so, thank Him...

and mean it.

when one has gone through many valleys, this is not a hard thing to do.

it's not hard because once you have clung to Him for mere survival you know..

you know who He is.

and then, it comes down to this:

it's a choice. 

so choose to thank Him.

trust Him and just rest.

and that peace,

that marvellous peace..

it will overwhelm you.

then, when it all works out,

not necessarily the way one from a human point of view would have liked it, yet 

when it still works out.

all thanks goes to Him.

just really thankful right now.

love Him 

so blown away by His love and goodness.

again.

He is my ALL and ALL
