I Will Tell the World!

I changed the song back to Albertine. The other song is awesome too, but something about the beat and the strumming of the guitar that plays in my head over and over. I feel a sense of urgency. I feel responsible. I feel like all eyes are on me, and I need to do more, if not just appreciate how much God has done and is doing for me each and every day. I am so very blessed....... in so many ways. I don't want to go another second without cherishing all of God's millions of blessings. By doing so, it makes me a millionaire, yet it is something money can never buy. I want to share God's love with all of the Albertine's of this world!

I went to bed last night and found my place where I fit perfectly in my husband's embrace. What a blessing, Praise God. I was able to think and pray as I listened to my children's breathing vibrate throughout the house. Praise God, that I live in a house absent of the noise and conflict caused by war. I slept soundly in my bed, awakened by the loud seal-like barks coming from Dennis' room. Praise God that I hear them because Dennis is home now and still not in Ukraine. Praise God for my awesome health to be able to walk over to him and bring him back to bed with me.

He laid on my chest, our hearts beating in rhythm, as I soothed him back to sleep. Praise God that I was able to comfort him.

For the longest time, I lay awake stroking Dennis' hair as I worshiped God, thankful for the little boy in my arms. I must have rattled off a hundred things that I was thankful for...... things I usually take for granted. I get up every morning without worry that I may not be able to feed my children today. I open up the fridge and grab a gallon of milk without giving it a second thought. I bought that milk, you know. That is the attitude I usually have. And it's with that attitude that I have watched my kids pour it down the sink because their cereal is gone and they don't want to drink it. Awww, but when I thank God for it, and remember mothers who do not have the same luxuries as I do, it puts things in a different perspective. Thank you God for the milk. I want to honor You by not wasting such a gift.

This is just one example of the many thoughts that went through my head, as I was intimate with my Heavenly Father (something I have never had with my earthly father). It is indescribable, what I felt. I felt loved, I felt at peace, I felt content, I felt like I had everything I could possibly ever need. And yet it was so much more......... like I said......... indescribable.

I can't believe how long it has taken me to get here..... not that I have arrived. Boy, have I missed out, and am probably still missing out on the abundance of blessings that my Father has for me. But I am growing........ and I am his child. His love for me is such an example of how I need to love my own children...... and others.

So back to the song. Does it speak to you through its beating rhythm and powerful words? If so, what is it saying to you?
