Today...

Today doesn't feel like a gift. Today is a gift.

Today didn't feel nice. Today was nice. 

I didn't feel good after a visit. Yet the visit was a good one. 

So many times things don't feel like they should. Things are not what they seem. They are what they are and I must step back and breathe before I feel, breathe before I cry, breathe before I react. 

I love my husband and my daughter. I love my immediate and extended family - sometimes I feel sad no matter what. I can and will remember that God is good always, even when I'm seeing things not as they are but feeling them as they seem.

 I will follow Him and not just feel better but be better as well.
