One Thing Needful-the beginning

I have always wanted to do this, starting a blog that is. So welcome to my very first posting.
I decided to write One Thing Needful, because I wanted to share my experiences. I have had some real challenges this last year, and have really learned some valuable lessons. The first post is going to be about how God is so good.
God is so good. It's a song that I have heard my children sing time and time again. It is a simple song with a simple melody and lyrics that can be memorized. The great thing is, it is the first thing that plays in my mind when I am faced with a challenge. It's those words that play over and over in my head, almost like a "mantra" if you will.
For instance, my husband has taken on a new job, and this job takes him away from home for several weeks at a time. He's a truck driver. It is the first time in our fifteen years of marriage that we have been away from each other. It has been really hard on the kids too. They have been so use to having him home everynight. That also leaves me handling all the homefires. Busy paying the bills, getting kids to and from school, getting the kids to do homework, and making sure everyone stays happy and healthy. The last three months have certainly been challenging, but rewarding as well.
This doesn't mean that I haven't been frustrated, sad, and yes angry. For instance, my daughter hugs me nightly and starts crying because she misses her daddy. This is one of those times that this song starts playing in my head. It reminds me that yes we are facing a challenge right now, but we are still be being blessed by God. My husband has a job, in this economy that is a good thing. We live in a beautiful home, safe, dry, and warm. I have AMAZING friends who pick you up when you are feeling at your worst. These blessings can be so easily overlooked. It is so easy to lose sight of these things.
So what is the one thing needful? It is just this...
God is so good, God is so good,
God is good, He's so good to me.
He is most certainly good to me.
