The tide is coming, I hear its sound......

Good morning and God bless each of you. It is a beautiful day here in Utah, the wind is gently rocking the branches on the trees, the sun has just come up over the mountain top, the temperature is a cool 46 degrees, and God has blessed us with his favor and grace once again by allowing us to awaken and see first hand just how much he loves us. 

In my morning chat with our Father in heaven I gave thanks for all of the blessings he has given me to this point and asked him to continue blessing me each day. Many have been hard blessings but blessings just the same, if I had not gone through all of the hard I would not appreciate when times are easy. I love the fact that there is a lesson to be learned and growth to be gained each and every time I hit a boulder in my path. Father I ask that you continue to teach me, to continue to guide me, to continue to love me, I make mistakes each and every day, I make poor choices, I sometimes don't act in a manner that I know is pleasing to you and still you love me without condition and you keep allowing me to try and try again. Father last evening I called for prayers to be said in the name of people suffering domestic abuse and for prayers to be lifted for a young man who is in the last stages with cancer who has become tired and confirmed that he was scared at what the future holds. Take each of these situations and provide what is needed for understanding and peace. Allow those who have and are suffering from the hands of abuse and give them strength and knowledge to get out of the situation they are in, allow them power to stand their ground and decide they are better than this and that they do not deserve the rage that is being hurled at them. Take this young man into your arms and allow him only to feel peace and comfort, hold him tightly and allow him to know that you are with him each step of the way and that he has nothing to fear. I ask that you bless each of my friends and blog supporters with love this day, that you help them to turn negative situations into positive and that you allow them to see the beauty in themselves that you see. I ask for peace, calm, comfort and an abundance of love for all, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I love this poem and find that if I allow my emotions to lead me my day is a mess, If I awake and decide that it will be a happy day, that I will push the negative down and only allow positive... my day is fantastic!!! It is my choice and I choose the good:) 

Your Emotions

I have set before you life and death

Blessing and cursing, therefore choose life

That both you and your descendents may live

Deuteronomy 30:19

I'm your emotions the thermostat of your soul

Sometimes I run hot

While other times cold

I can be your best friend and add sunshine to your day

Or I can be your worst enemy

And send dark clouds your way

The hand you're dealt you cannot help

How you play it is your choice

So rather than just give up on life

Instead why not rejoice

Control me stand up to me don't let me have my way

If not I'll destroy you

What a precious price to pay

The tide is coming I hear its sound

The choice is yours to swim or drown

I see a lighthouse shining bright

It casts its rays and sheds its light

You have a choice it's not up to me

To swim or drown

What shall it be?
