I will bear witness that the Lord is righteous;
I will praise the name of the Lord Most High.
~ Psalm 7:18
Praising His name by continuing to list His mercies, His faithfulness, and continuing to count the gifts…
2028. a milestone in a child’s life
2029. being there for her
2030. still daily learning how to do this mothering well
2031. learning to listen to my spirit
2032. soft dog at my feet
2033. each one of my girls
2034. swinging at the park
2035. sticky counter tops
2036. sink full of dishes
2037. sleepover friend for the third-born
2038. cooler mornings for running
2039. early morning snuggles with my Ellie
2040. late night struggles with another
2041. long talks in bed
2042. knowing I can never be enough, but God already is
2043. being chased by the grace of God
2044. a gymnastics class for the human monkey
2045. staying calm
2046. a few days away with my beloved
2047. sun
2048. sand
2049. salt-water
2050. loving each other
2051. uninterrupted thoughts, conversation
2052. books read
2053. pale orange sky
2054. sunset from 30,000 feet
2055. being welcomed home
2056. hard days that leave me tired and empty
2057. a God who fills if I only ask and slow to receive
2058. a pile of laundry to fold as I pray and reflect
2059. loud laughter after dinner
2060. realizing I need to take time to linger longer with these people, my people
2061. husband who brings lunch, makes dinner, prays for me
2062. being awake at 3:15 – a Wednesday morning routine; more time to think, pray, sit with God
Praying that this day, your day, is filled with an increasing awareness of His presence, His faithfulness, His unrelenting grace.
For His Glory ~
