Reminder to Read My Bible!

Read my daughter's blog today and learned from her that I should read my bible more. That's not what she said but she had written in her blog about leaning about God. She's had struggles and is learning how hard it is to be an adult, but that God is always there for her. That was the reminder that I needed. I know that He is always there, but I forget to read my Bible. How can I forget that? I get so busy with other things; and I don't even know what that is. I don't work, but I have so much pain and it overtakes everything else. Why can't I turn it over to God? How can I just lie on my couch and feel sorry for myself? Which is so often what I end up doing. I've talked about writing a book for so long and my daughter told me that I should do that. Well, that I will do. It's amazing how we can learn from our children. And even when they were younger, I'd be shocked sometimes at the things that they would teach me. Patience, for one thing. I was not a patient woman, but I had to learn how to be patient. I didn't always master it, but over time I got better at it. In retrospect, I now have to admit that I still failed miserably, but I still tried to do the best that I could with what I had to work with. And my youngest daughter and I didn't always get along, but we are now getting close, and it warms my heart. That is all I ever wanted, for us to become close. Thank you, Lord, for my children. I now have all 3 of them in my life, and that is the greatest gift of all. I never dreamed that all of them would be a part of my life, but they are. I truly am the luckiest woman in the world, and still I forget to read my Bible. How can I be so blind. So today I have to thank my daughter for opening my eyes to what is right in front of me; I was missing it. I have amazing children. The Lord blessed me with the greatest children in the world! That is my nugget for today.
