We are blessed.
I know that things don't often turn out the way I picture them in my mind or in the little plan that forms in my heart, but the Lord knows better than I know. He is so good!
Nothing monumental has happened..either good or bad..but I know the Lord has His hand on our lives, and I have so many things that remind me of His ever present love: sunshine, a garage, little black boys cheering for Clay at a volleyball game, friends over for dinner, country music on weekend afternoons full of so many good memories, multiple rooms in our house, meals turning out and tasting good, a deal on a washer and dryer, my bangs finally growing out after a recent cut, fresh flowers in a mason jar, little black boys sitting with us at church, coming home to dishes being done after a long day, dust not falling from the ceiling when the wind blows, a yard to 'have a catch' in, bright orange Syracuse t-shirts, Amy Butler fabric, birds chirping, visits from family to look forward to, snail mail cards in the mailbox, conversations about Christ with co-workers, pizza, running-start hugs from little friends.
The list could go on and on, but those are a few things that are overwhelming me with a simple attitude of thanksgiving. My heart is full.
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
