“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want, He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.” He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Psalm 23:1-3 (Read on in verses 4-6).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY – In order to live in happiness, always be true to yourself.
Why is it so hard for some people to just do the “right thing?” I am trying the make the best life I can for myself and my sons. That is one of the biggest reasons I stood up to all the irresponsibility from alcoholism in my marriage and moved forward with separation and divorce. How could our sons learn by example when their parents were pretending everything was fine but they had truly lost their way in their marriage, in their financial situation, and in their role to responsibly raise a family? I just wanted a “manageable” life. It is what I need to teach my sons – how to live responsibly or in a way they can manage. That’s actually how I need to live in order to be happy and the best person I can be. I don’t miss tossing and turning at night wondering when my husband will be home, how we will pay the months’ bills, or how I will have the energy to keep pretending everything will be OK. I still find myself begging my ex to live more responsibly for himself, our kids, and me but I still doubt him seeing any of it as being the right thing to do, which saddens me.
Dear God, thank you for helping me find my way back to a more manageable life, one where I can be my true self. I feel more responsible and happier working to restore my soul and living by the example I would want my kids to follow. Please help us all to live righteously in truth and happiness.
