"My soul continually remembers it
and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
The LORD is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD."

Sitting beside me is my sweet Aiden, pink cheeked from playing outdoors, tasting a piece of Papa's homemade hard cheese, freshly cut into. It is good.

I taste.
I see.
He is good.

Mercy is not simply the pardoning of a sin. It is pardoning wrapped in compassion. How beautiful that God has compassion on me every morning! That after sleep interrupted nights, piles of laundry, boogery children -there stand I - foggy eyed to the world, sleep deprived, grocery lists on the brain, schedules to make, to keep. And there is my Savior. Strong, compassionate, wrapping me in peace, strengthening me for the day, reminding me of His truths.






I desire my Father's approval. I want Him to take pleasure in the life I live. I know I cannot ever repay Him for His ways.

this post is a wonderful follow-up to the teaching of my husband this morning.
How lovely to hear you giving praise for His blessings in your life. Nothing better than those times when we realize that our cup runneth over. Soak it up, my friend. Soak it up.
What encouraging words about all that we face in our daily circumstances and how our Savior is ever-close and faithful. Your post has put life into me today! Thank you :)
Thank you Hannah. So true, and what a beautiful reminder.
So Beautiful.
thank you
Thanks, ladies for the comments.
I do feel so blessed despite of all the things going on in our economy. Our business is slower which affects every aspect of our finances.
The current administration wants to(and will) raise the taxes on small business owners very soon but I have incredible peace about it all.
More on that later,
Hannah
