Oh, how the view changes. Looking out the patio door this morning, I am amazed when I think of the influence of what I see in front of me. Right now, it is super easy to be thankful for what I have, to see the blessings. God has brought me to a beautiful place, wants me to see His glory as it is, and I have no choice but to thank Him for bringing me to this place. It’s humbling. I often wonder why God blesses me, even knowing me as he does. This is another chapter in my life, a new perspective, changes for me, changes for my relationship with my wife. Our new home represents a new life for us — a home that is our home, a life with experiences that are ours. We came from a home that had been hers, not mine. We went to a church that had been her church home before I joined her there. The view is new, fresh, a glorious panorama.
The perspective is more than renewed hope — it is a celebration of God’s beautiful gifts to us, of the new life we have each day. I am thankful.
