His Perspective (Day 96)

My blessing today is I'm glad I'm not stupid enough to wrestle an alligator.. Ok, not really. But I'm watching a guy wrestle an alligator on the news and I think he's a bit crazy. Really my blessing is just being able to get out. I wasn't in my house really at all. Except when I was packing I was out with my aunt eating lunch and spending the afternoon catching up and then out with my family for dinner.

Really I have two blessings today. The second was Jesus Calling. "The secret of being thankful is learning to see everything from My perspective." It's a much needed reminder. Think of something that is hurting you. Do you consider it a blessing or a curse? That was happening to me. Now, close your eyes and start trying to think of it from our Father's perspective. I did. I closed my eyes and started talking, asking questions. What's hurting you, Katherine? Do you consider it a blessing? Why do you think this happened? Think about what your life would of been like if this hadn't happened; would you be happy? Was this the best thing for the time being? After I answered each of those questions I came to see it from His view point. And I really started not knowing where the questions were coming from. They weren't coming from me, I know that. Don't ask me to describe it. I can't. But I do know it felt peaceful and I came out seeing through different eyes. That's the real blessing for the day.
