Sister left a comment on my FB this morning about how this "prayer thing" must really work -- ya think so? :P I have really been trying to pray a lot lately and it has filled me with so much PEACE and contentment that it is even amazing the people around me a little bit. Just this morning, middle sis did something that I normally would have gotten very irritated about but I just laughed it off and made jokes about it while I was telling my mom, and she said, "Wow, you're taking this really well!" I guess it's the little things that I can tell God is working on with me. Life is too short to really dwell on silly things when they just aren't that important in the big picture.
I have been praying the Liturgy of the Hours for the past week now and it has REALLY helped. If you surround yourself with prayer and the knowledge that God is always with you, walking you through the day, you don't have a lot of time to spend worrying about things that are beyond your control. The kids have been good about giving me the 10-15 minutes that I need throughout the day to say the prayers, so that has been a big help.
I just wish that all people could see how generous God is when they truly believe and pray for Him to provide for what they need. I have no doubt that all of the things happening in the past couple of days have been blessings from God and not just mere coincidence.
God is good all the time; all the time, God is good! :o)
