Life is not perfect. We or someone we love is struggling with health, learning difficulty, job loss, depression, exceedingly expensive home repair, single parenting, middle school, uncertainty of the future and I could go on. But there is beauty in the here too. Beauty, grace, forgiveness, love, mercy, power.
So I count.....
Kids on Christmas
A new friend from far away (Holland)
Puppy rain gear
warm beds
a brother I've never met praying for me
a husband who can fix a computer
the beauty of numbers
that God speaks our language
funny birthday cards that sing
the sister who sends them
good friends
fancy dinners that I don't cook
the view from our kitchen at sunset
His mercy is new each morning
What an incredible view of the sunset!
