Life is good

I know it's good friday and I should be thinking about how Christ must have felt on this day, but today I have been overcome with joy. I can't stop feeling this warm blanket of happiness thinking about my life. Life is good. I have an amazing husband, he loves me so much! He never gets angry with me, frustrated maybe but not angry. He doesn't raise his voice to me, he is the calm one when I am irrational or emotional. He always thinks I am sexy and beautiful, he buys me gifts and takes care of me...unconditionally. I never have to worry about that guy! I am so happy, I have a job that challenges me, a job that makes me feel fulfilled; like I am doing something worthwhile, I never dread going to work. I have such a cute house and I love my neighborhood, I enjoy my daily walks with my two adorable dogs who also love me unconditionally. I am almost done with school- for now. I enjoy my studies, they challenge me and make me think in ways that light a fire in my brain. School is amazing and I can't wait for the opportunities in graduate school. I have so many activities that I don't have time for zombie TV time- horses, roller-skating, skiing, friends... oh my I love my friends and I realize I am so blessed to have such an amazing group of friends who also love me no matter what! Tonight I am overwhelmed by the blessings in my life, and as I was contemplating these things on my walk I realized it is during these wonderful phases in life that I do not feel spiritual or the presence of God. But if God is here, He is blessing my life and yet it is during these blissful busy days that I do not think of Him or call on Him. It's true though, when I am going through moments of trial or sadness I look to Him. Right now I am not. Perhaps this is why I also cherish the difficult moments in life, it is during those moments that I feel closest to God and pray and cry to Him. We all need those moments to teach us about Spirituality and strength and hope and faith. When I find myself thinking about how content I am, I wonder...what will my moment of dispair be? And will that be the moment I find God? Doubtful, I have had plenty of those moments and although I have called out to Him, I rarely felt His comforting presence. Perhaps right now I am in the midst of His love and am too blind to realize it! hmmm... I think I will thank Him tonight.
