New Day

This bunny picture always makes me smile
my husband when I first officially met him
to cheer me up, randomly said, "Bunny with a
pancake on it's head." since then this makes
me smile and think joyfully of my husband.
I woke this morning feel quite better than I felt last night, and having just enough time to do a short blog. Here are some verses I am finding encouraging this morning. This is the second time in 2 days I have stumbled across 1 Thess. 5:16-18. Nudges from the Holy Spirit.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with all of you.


Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Father, thank you for your grace, understanding and love. Thank you you forgive and pick us up when we need it. Thank you for Your Spirit who speaks to me when I am quiet enough to listen. Thank you for my beautiful daughter and my faithful husband. They both truly are gifts from You. I pray you strengthen and encourage them as you are with me. I pray blessings onto them and those we meet today. I ask it is You they see in us. I want to make you proud God. Thank you Lord for today. Thank you. I love you Father. In Jesus Name, amen.

How is it I start the day strong and by the end I feel so drained, underappreciated,  unhappy, discontent and so on?

I hate this feeling. I feel alone. Distanced. I have an incling I might without knowing the moment I am doing it, be pushing away the ones I love so much. Placing my displeasure on the shoulders of the nearest target. Granted I might have reason to be irritated, but is this attitude really pleasing me at all? Or how about God?
