Too rushed to take time to thank God

Often I find myself pulled in different directions, trying to sort things out. It's hard to stop and thank God. Yet I must. There are so many things to be thankful for and so many things that I need to go to God to answer. I know he has the answers. I sometimes wish I wasn't so rushed. It is a choice. I know that. Still I feel overwhelmed and saddened by everything that is going on. Some will probably say that this is the end.

I see them every day. Their signs anger me. Only the Lord knows when he will bring the last judgment on this old world. I can't confront them. That, I'm sure, would only add fuel to the fire. I step back, and have to thank God for the food he's providing. I can't think about what some are saying. I have to stop worrying about the "what ifs and what could be" and start praising God.

My heart bleeds for the ones suffering through the massive floods in the mid west part of the country. I feel torn in two by those who are picking up the pieces of their lives in the South. I know we have been blessed here. I know that I need to stop and thank God for his protection and provision.
