You can’t always get what you want… but as The Rolling Stones say, you get what you need.
I have to be reminded of that sometimes. That line, sung by a drug addled group of hippies who I disagree with on most points of life, called out to me today. My amazing Savior used their words to speak His truth. Isn’t it beautiful how He does that?
Here is the simple truth- what I “want” isn’t happening a lot recently.
I am caught in a complicated question- when is “fighting for what you want” no longer good? How long are you suppose to push for what seems right before you simply say “I must be wrong”?
But as God, and The Rolling Stones, reminded me today, I have what I need.
There are multiple unanswered questions in the lives of Bethany and Andy right now, but we have a roof over our head, delicious food in the pantry, and each other.
We are amazingly blessed to have Zion right here with us and Canaan able to call multiple times a week. Both of our moms are near by and many priceless family and friends are within reach.
I can’t always get what I want.
I don’t even know for sure which things I am suppose to fight for and which things I am suppose to let go.
But….
I am Oh So Amazingly Blessed!!
Remember to count your blessings too my friends.
Find the good.
See the beautiful.
Make that choice.
I am asking for your prayers my friends. There are unanswered questions and decisions for the Freeman crew. Always… but it seems heavy right now.
In the meantime…
Be blessed my friends! Make the choice to see the good, every step of the way!
