I needed that today. I have several dramas about to be played out in my life. Things that are out of my control. All I can do is wait. And pray. And rejoice. Thank you. I needed that today.

And I start to panic that we won't stay healthy, that an earthquake will hit, that some other disaster will happen. (And of course I'm so stressed by the busyness brought on by my blessings, that I tend to not enjoy the moments.) And I also feel guilty that our lives are so good when others are suffering... and I try to make sure I'm enjoying every moment 100%, but then that thought is stressful too. Sigh. I do need the reminder that true Joy is not based on circumstances but comes from God. Thank you!
