In God We Trust?

Do we really?

Do we live our lives secure in the knowledge that no matter what, God is with us?

Do we really trust that no matter how F-'ed up our day is, God loves us and wants us to succeed?

Do we truly accept that no matter what we do, or who we do it to, or with, God (and your Momma) will still love you?

Some people doubt the existence of God,
Some believe in God to the exclusion of all else,
Some just don't care either way.

But let's face it, every Jew, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, even Atheist, at some point, in some way, in their life, or at the end of it, will have a moment when God speaks to them, "I am with you, Trust In Me".

I am NOT a overly religious man and I do not go to church as regularly as I should. But as I sat in my home, safe from the elements, and watched The Missus and The Princess snuggle together reading a book I was suddenly very aware of the good fortune, comfort, and peace I have been given.

Yes, I worked hard. Yes, I made the commitment to be a good husband and father. Yes, I am proud of what I have accomplished. But I am also keenly aware that a boy from the hinterlands of Scotland traveled thousands of miles to Massachusetts, met a girl from New Jersey, made a home in Florida and adopted a Princess from Russia. That CAN'T happen WITHOUT a plan, WITHOUT supreme guidance. That never would have been, without my willingness to live my life as well as I can and to be strong enough to understand that I cannot do it alone. Strong enough to TRUST without proof, or better said; to have FAITH that no matter what - God IS with me and wants me to succeed.

May God bless y'all and yer mom-an-em!
