Thy will be done= what is best

I already wrote about that singer from Lady Antebellum about the song Thy Will Be Done. I was reading another little article about it and remembered that I learned then that thy will be done means what is best.

I'm struggling these days with things. I know I pretty much hate the month of August. It shouldn't make a difference but it does. Dad and I are not fighting as much, but the issues remain. As a follow-up to my post yesterday, he was going to get the $50 out of his account to transfer to BOAA, only to find out this his account is overdrawn. He forgot about a check he wrote. Than last night he realized he forgot about his opthamologist appointment. How do you even do that?

Little things help-Jeff Dowling brought me flowers today, I came across this article, last night at Aunt Gretchen's sign-making party I sat next to a lady whose brother-in-law is neighbors with John Meadows. She said she heard he is having a very hard time. (Join the club-sorry). This lady also works for the transportation authority and she said there are so many ways for a driver to be distracted at the wheel. Although I am not sure if that's what happened with you, that was helpful information.

Thinking about the phrase above, isn't that what we want for our children? The best? What about God's best? Isn't that the best best?

Uh, oh-too much time to think in between. Does God's will apply only in cases of life and death? Is it his will for Dad to be difficult, for our constant struggle with money, etc.? Are those little things that I shouldn't worry about? I mean that concept could be whittled down to every minute detail of life I suppose. Or does it mean in relation to God's master plan which is building up His kingdom for eternity?

I know I have read things that God's will is always done in heaven, but rarely done on earth. I know our days are numbered in His book from eternity past. The day we are born and the day we die. Those are issues that matter in God's eyes than how is my marriage and how much money do I make and how do I look. God's concern is eternal things, not temporal things. Things on earth will not last. These things don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. What does last? God, a soul, love, heaven. We need to focus on things that will last for eternity-sharing the Gospel, trusting God whate'er befall, serving Him, loving Him, knowing Him better, the list can go and on. It's not about me, it's about God! I have to remember that! You are with Him now, sweet boy! How is it? I'm sure I know the answer to that. You are fine! You are more than fine! How long, O Lord, before I can see my sweet boy again? Help me, Lord!
