There is also hot coffee.
This is the day that counts.
We yield to the Master’s touch.
It is in the giving of our selves that He is able to work in us.
His good and perfect will.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
I am not proud.
I can not do this on my own.
It is too hard.
Too painful.
Too much.
So, once again I am laying it all down.
my own bed
fresh brewed coffee
a second cup of freshly brewed coffee
the smell of freshly brewed coffee
the way the mug feels when the mug is between my hands
(you understand, I am very grateful)
this drafty old house; no matter how cold it is outside, it is still warmer in here
the quiet of our home
the rhythm of farm life
my farmer, driving and driving and then getting up to do chores
friends and family who welcome us home and remind us we are loved
a time of Thanksgiving, to be intentional about gratitude
God’s word and the message of hope found within
tin on the porch roof and the steady cadence kept
the uniqueness of my children and the gift each one is to our family
growth in spite of the heartache
May this week be about gratitude for you.
Even if your heart is breaking, step into a path that includes gratitude.
And if you’re heart is overwhelmed with joy step into gratitude for the deep gift.
As you offer your gratitude to God today, here is a song I love.
Holy, are you Lord God Almighty.
Worthy is the Lamb.
Won’t you Worship with me and let it all go.
Hand it all over the One who longs to hold it for you.
He is worthy.
He is good.
He is Holy.
And He is waiting for you.
