~ONE WISH?~
~If you were asked the question......If you could have one wish granted in all the world , What would it be for? What would your answer be?...........For some unknown reason my dear daughter, Kathryne, ask me this question just this past week. How long would it take you to answer? Could you just answer right away?(My husband blurted out ...I want a million dollars) Would it take you awhile to think the question over? My first reaction was.....That I would love for all my dear children ,grandchildren,loved ones in general to been granted good health,peace and happiness through out the rest of their life's. Wrong answer.....Mom, the wish is for you! So,on to ponder the question.........I would like to have a new home, better health,but still this doesn't seem to fulfill the answer to the question. I thought a little while longer and then gave it no more thought, until I began to write about it here to you.
Could be that the ideal is just so far from reality that I just couldn't seem to imagine what ever I could wish for really being granted, or could be that my spirit is just not in tune to such earthly things that I didn't cared to give it that much consideration? I prefer to think it would be the latter of the two.
The word does tell us to be contend in whatever our state.
1 Timothy 6:6.... But Godliness with contentment is great gain...7..For we bought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out....8...And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
I believe it is God's desire to bless his children,and he does as he see's fit. He grants us each according to his will. God knows our every need and want and considers what is best for us.He knows us better than we know ourselves. Would some of us not be like to
I have not had many earthly treasures in this life thus far,and should the Lord see fit to bless me , I shall be more than welcome to receive his blessing,but to be honest, he has granted me many blessings in this life that others could never notice from outward appearances. My true hope is not in this world,but in the world to come where I know I have many treasures waiting for me and look forward to the day when my eyes shall behold them.
I pray you are blessed today and content to be so. I can truly say, I am blessed beyond all measure and in my heart there is no longing for more than what the Lord's will is to bless me with. He has provided me with life everlasting, what more could I ask for?......back to that question.
Blessings,Sister Shelley

What a wonderful beautiful journal you have created. I am very depressed right now and I found your journal or blog, very uplifting. I pray to God for help, but every day is the same. I seem to have lost my desire in life. I can't find a job, I just turned 57 in July and I'm very very down. I watch other people live, laugh, and I'm always in the same place. I can't seem to pick myself up. My husband of 33 years, I think is getting disgusted. I feel like I'm dead with my eyes wide open. Lg2003lg@aol.com
