Remember God’s Blessings: How to Finally Start Keeping a Family Journal

2 Comments / Meditations /

So why haven’t I made it a habit to pick those journals back up and start writing? Probably because that would mean admitting that I had missed years of journal entries, and if I do later add something about those missing years, it will be out of order. I wish I could go back through our calendars, text messages, and photos to try to piece together something of a family history to fill in the blank spaces first, but when will I find the time? So I wait, sitting on the side of the road, feeling that the enormous burden of my perfect ideal is too heavy for me to budge, much less pick up and carry.

Sometime this spring, I read the verse “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” – Isa. 26:3

“I want that perfect peace!” I thought. But how could I remember to keep my mind on God?

I wrote the verse at the top of my planner pages for several weeks in a row and tried to pray more often throughout the day—but felt very unsuccessful. I really couldn’t figure out how to consistently think about God when my days were filled with constant responsibilities and distractions.
