My Lord,
Exhale......everytime I think of your goodness....I have to take such a deep breath and then exhale.
You are so gracious to provide. You continually gift me with wisdom, grace, patience, shelter, food, comfort, peace, love, joy, music, poetry, time, rest, laughter, friendships, your presence, my beloved family, sight, dreams, hope, photographs, the sun on my skin, the ability to walk, a car, choices, discernment, quiet time, aloneness, a compassionate heart, the desire to pray, a longing to help, the freedom to give, discipline, great neighbors, a passion for greeting cards, a savings account, an enormous collection of books, butterfly friends, empathy, talents, tears, a home on the water, sushi, chocolate, journals, ink pens, way too many bibles, your truth and a wholehearted desire to sit at your feet.
There is so much more that I can thank you for and I will continue with my list of heartfelt gratitude as the days progress :-)
BUT the biggest thank you is your #priceless gift of Salvation. I'm immensley enjoying your word as we are in Leviticus and all I can say is: WOW! We so need you #still. Yes, we are a still a stubborn, rebellious and sticknecked society and without you we would surely perish. Sin still exist as you knew that it would and was the very reason that you sent your sweet and precious Son to die on the cross for us and for ME! I come to quiet tears and oftentimes profound tears when I reflect on that gift alone. YOU are my God and I am not ashamed of the gospel.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the goshpe, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes to the Jew first and then the Gentile.
PRAISE REPORT! I can't say anything yet, BUT GOD YOU did an AWESOME THING FOR the ___________ family. YOU REIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO Happy and SO Excited!
Prayers: Hosea is home and still needs healing and prayers. Mom's eye recovery, Dad's back, Catherine, Sierra, Alex, Kara, Kathy, the Washington family, the Dobry family, the Good family, and many, many other needs that you are aware of and are working behind the scenes as we patiently wait for your mercy and your grace. It surely abounds beyond anything the human mind can conceive.
1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived:--the things God has prepared for those who love him--"
Lord, if you NEVER GAVE me anything else, I'd still love you and my heart would still long to see your glorious face. I have received way more than I deserve and I cry at the thought that you have yet to bless me beyond measure.
Eternally yours
