Believing God...

Finally a refreshing taste of spring here in our little space of the world. I'm typically not one who is affected much by the weather conditions, but the older I get, the more I grow to be more like Dad & Marci...too many cloudy, cold & gloomy days & I have very little motivation. And my attitude somewhat mirrors the outdoor elements...

So today...
I'm thankful for:

♥open windows...
♥fresh air...
♥warm sunshine...
♥gentle breezes...

♥spring scented candles...
♥a visit from Mom...
♥instrumental music...
♥freshly laundered sheets, dried on the clothesline...

♥a husband who comes home to me & loves me endlessly...
♥understood math lessons...
♥homemade laundry soap (by MaKayla's hands)...
♥natural light streaming through the windows...

♥health...
♥life...
♥a tender heart that has grasped the reality of believing God to do the impossible...
♥hope...

As Mallary sat at the kitchen table late this afternoon she conveyed to me that she has decided that she is going to start believing God to take control of certain areas of her life rather than to worry or fret over them. As her mom, friend & sister-in-Christ, this blessed my heart & brought me great joy. ♥

It's been a beautiful day & I am grateful for the blessings God has bestowed upon me. I'm thankful for the work He is doing in my life & in the lives of those I love. I simply can't imagine living a day without the reality of His presence...

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~ Matthew 6:25-34
