. . . and just like that . . .

It's amazing how something as simple as a couple of songs, with intention, can change everything. Just hit by this tonight (crept into my thoughts and immediately changed my attitude upon hearing it):

"God is bigger than the air I breathe,
This world we'll leave,
And God will save the day,
And all will say,
'My Glorious'

The world's shakin' with the love of God,
Great and Glorious, let the church bells ring.
And all You ever do is change the old for new.
People, we believe that

God is bigger than the air I breathe,
This world we'll leave,
And God will save the day,
And all will say,
'My Glorious, My Glorious'"

Maybe it's also partly because I just read a book that kind of looks at the transience of life and the sort of stream of time that connects us all, but shoot. My life will end one day, and God will still be bigger. He has bigger things, huge things that I can't imagine that he deals with. My life will be short and transient, so how much less important are these "light and momentary troubles"? (Brit punctuation.) That's not to say that God doesn't care, but these "downs" are temporary and are not the end of the world, mine or anyone else's. I might as well make my attitude a good one to make my blink of an eye a good one.

Also had a thought tonight: I'm so blessed to have a place to live, a job, food, and a car in this economy. There are people who can't afford to pay their rent at all, let alone on time. I'm not starving, and I don't haven't been left destitute by any illness or natural/manmade disaster, either. I didn't even have hail damage! And another thought — it's really unfair to punish the new one for the old one. Cryptic enough? Haha probably easy to figure out. Goodnight. :)
