Dear Father,

Thank You so much. There are so many, many things to thank You for! Thank you for Your amazing grace. Thank you for family, and for beauty and sunshine. For music and laughter and friends- I praise You and thank You. Every moment is a precious gift. Thank you for Your presence in hard times, and for never giving up on us. You are holy, just, loving, faithful, and true. Thank you for the knowledge of truth. Help me to be more like You and to serve You and others more faithfully.

Amen.

The Faithfulness of God

As the Bible says, "His mercies are new every morning."

I have been struck with how amazing God is. Even through difficult times, He is there, guiding and leading us. Though we may question His being there at all, He is working all things to His purpose, and we can put our faith in His plans and purpose.

I was counting my blessings today and it amazed me how much the blessings outweighed the difficulties. Family, friends, fun times, learning experiences, a special 'aha!' moment, simple things, music, pets, wise words... how is God speaking to you today?

Remember James 1:17- "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

I pray that you will see God's hand on your life today.
