recognize mercy. Sometimes we don't see all the subtle blessings of mercy that His divine grace covers us with each day.
Laura Story has a beautiful song that I first heard at church. It has struck my heart and soul. It makes me recognize and be grateful for all the mercy God bestows on me. It also allows me to praise Him in the midst of any storms that come my way. I would encourage you to listen to it or find your own inspirational song that touches your heart and helps you to always remember that He is near and He is blessing you.
......."what if your blessings come through raindrops, what if your healing comes through tears, what if a thousand sleepless nights is what it takes to know you're near, what if the trails of this life are Your mercies in disguise - what if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy, what if the trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the darkest nights are Your mercies in disguise"....
So, for today I will recognize mercy in my life and be thankful.
About Me
- Living blessed for today...
- I am just an average girl who has had a life of ups and downs, just like many of you. I am married with two children and work full-time, part-time and volunteer. I love my family and I love God. The one thing I know to be true is that life is better when you take it one day at a time. How do I know? Because I've tried the other choices. I've tried to choke the world into submission by trying to control everything everyday. I've had high paying jobs that zapped all my time and energy leaving nothing for my family or myself. I've worried myself to sickness over the "what if's" of the future. But then I gave up. I surrendered and decide to let go and let God. Now I take each new day as a new chance to in any small way make a positive impact on the ones I love - which has extended to anyone reading this blog. I pray that by reading this blog and focusing on one day at a time - one simple task or challenge at a time - I can help you deal with the burdens of life and bring you closer to the one who is really taking care of you, God. I hope you will find motivation, inspiration, peace, or even just a smile when you visit this blog. Be blessed.
