St. Contardo Ferrini Blessed be the Lord day by day, God, our salvation, Who carries us. Psalms 68: 29
Day by day... this is the catch phrase for me this morning. Each day brings something new. It could be good things like parties in school, the birth of a baby, a dance class with my youngest, or a raise in my husband's paycheck. It could also bring challenges like a busted furnace, laundry piled up on my couch, a sick child (or myself), or a bad behavior report from one of my kids' teachers. Either way, God is present in all of it.
Day by day, God is here teaching me and guiding me in my life to get closer to Him. But I must be open to it. I must look at those challenges as chances to get closer in my relationship to Him. I can use those good times too! He is right there, in the smile of my baby, and in that pile of laundry. He is there in our celebrations, and in the lessons I will learn from the misbehavior of my child.
Day by day, I am grateful for all the trials, the tribulations, and the outright blessings that occur in my daily life. It all brings me, and all of us, closer to our Lord.
Dear Lord, be with me today, and every day, to help me to see the blessings You bring me in everything that happens in my daily life.

Hi, Karen!!!
Glad to see your back, I've been away a little while myself. I started back school and its been taking up too much of my time!!!
Excellent post! These things are often forgotten.

Good to hear from you SaChay! I saw on your blog that you mentioned something about homework. What are you going back to school for? I think it's GREAT!
This is just wonderful Karen!!
I would like to go for an Associates in Applied Science in Animal Husbandry. But the community college I go to offers nothing that interests me. So at the moment I'm just going for the general Associates in Applied Science Degree...
Well it's definitely a start SaChay! I think it's wonderful that you're doing that! And maybe something will come along that you want later. I just accepted a job a few days ago working with 2-3 year-old autistic children part-time. Flexible hours, good pay... can't ask for anything more!! :)
