~ Grace Gift ~
Sun-Kissed Yellow
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind
and with all your strength.
~ Mark 12:30
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
~ Psalm 34:17
"
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." ~ II Cor. 9.1
"
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due
to change." ~ James 1.17
When it's cool and sunny and the birds are singing and the flowers -
wild - are blooming and all is well with me and mine, it's easy to be
agreeable and gratitude spilling.
The real test - the challenge for me - is this. When it's hot and humid,
and the cat throws up on the carpet, and I drop the yogurt on the
just-mopped kitchen floor and all is
not well with me and mine. Does gratitude spill then?
Have I truly
cultivated an eye for life's mercies? Will I still count my blessings
- name them, list them, play them on the keyboards, speak about them, paint
them - on difficult, less-than-stellar, horrible, no-good days?
What about you? What are you savoring these days? And how are you counting His gifts?
