Do you have your Godggles on?

Life through my eyes: Why won't my child stop crying! !
Through God's eyes (or as I like to say; Godggles): Thank you, Lord, for a full term baby who was born with healthy lungs.


My eyes: She wants to eat again?
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for giving her an appetite to live.


My eyes: I can't believe she woke me up three times last night!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, that we haven't had to deal with SIDS in our family.


My eyes: I didn't get any house work done today!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for a roof over our heads to contain our mess. =)


My eyes: I just changed you and now there is spit up on everything!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for the provision of clothes to change into.


My eyes: I'm so tired!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for creating our bodies to tell us when we need rest.


My eyes: I wish I didn't live so far from my parents!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for a great relationship and communication with my parents and that they are still around to share our lives with.


My eyes: Gas is so expensive!
Godggles: Thank you, Lord, for a vehicle and my independance to go where and when I please.

Hey Tonya!
I love your "Godggles"! It's so true! We can look at our circumstance or things going on and complain, but in reality, when we keep our eyes on Christ it makes all the difference just remembering that He met our greatest need on the cross!! :-) I have so much fun looking at the adorable pictures! :-) Although one of my favorites is "why you should weed your yard". :-) We should get together soon!
Take care!
Rachelle :-)
