Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Cedric has been wearing his clothes.
Day # 6 of Thankfulness:
For his rapid entry into this world
The energy he brings
Sensitivity that leaves my heart swelling
Artistic expression
Musical ability
A mind that can create, dream and hope without boundaries
Blue eyes full of mischief, just like his father and papa before him
the farming blood that runs deep in his veins
his ability to make me laugh when I am so angry
his desire to serve the Lord and wrestle with what authentic living looks like
his confidence in who he is
For not fitting into a mold and being ok with that
For having a messy room
For creating small scale farms
For loving his brother, forged through years of desperate battles
reminding me that life goes on and there is joy in the journey.
And this boy has not been to the barn on a regular basis since his brother died.
We have given him space.
He has now crossed that bridge.
It has been 14 weeks.
So, I pray deep and long for this boy.
And I give Thanks.
Ephesians 1:16
I have not stopped giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers.
I pour out my heart.
I step into peace that only God can offer.
Peace and assurance, that we are loved, that God sees the whole picture.
