I'm Blessed Today and Yesterday

I have asked forgiveness for being so angry with our previous bus driver. I, too have done someone wrong. I probably had them yelling and screaming for my shortcomings as well. This is why Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins.

Why was I so angry I had a summer I did not expect. My daughter needed so much attention I was not aware of. She is still growing up and have so many challenges. Presently, (I had to get her permission first) she has a mental illness. We discovered when she was in 5th grade, but hindsight I think it has been apart of her since birth. I also discovered before conceiving her I had a kidney disease and my doctor suggested I abort her. No, I did not and she has only been a blessing in my life. Mental illness has been apart of my life by other family members. So, when I begin to see behavior I recognized in my relatives I jumped on it right away. I wanted to get help asap, yesterday.

In our county I live in, the health department were very helpful. We, my little family were a team and still is. Whitney became the best clientele for all the social workers there. She was known as the "functional one". Her social worker and others wanted to know why was Whitney doing so well. Our team had one captain, who is God (Yahweh). We communicated to each other and with others outside our family and we watched our attitudes. We obeyed God's word. So, we were not perfect we made plenty of mistakes, but communicating even when it is bad is only how it gets better.

Whitney came home today from school with a genuine smile on her face and told me how she met her challenges. She told me she had a good day. Praise God!

Tonight we had a bible study and the best scripture out of it, 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than " he who is in the world".

The rest of the read verses 5-19 is the continued message for all of us.

"We love Him because He first loved us."

My family use this motto we learned at a YMCA camp I worked at once, "I'm third". This phrase means,God is first, Others are second, and I'm third.

Yes, that's why I'm blessed today and yesterday. Tomorrow belongs to HIM.
