Sometimes, waiting or sacrificing things is actually just opening the door for God to grant us the desires of our hearts in a spectacular way...

Blessed

This week I have been taking stock of the blessings in our lives.  A bit melancholy for home, I allowed a snippet of discouragement to take a foothold in my heart... my response has been to remember all the blessings that we have right here and now...


Morning walk on the Central Coast of Australia

A reminder in my devotions early this week...

"Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy."  1 Timothy 6:17

"Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand...His bounty is ever-flowing, and the wells-spring of His love is constantly overflowing...His grace can never fail."



"Daily we pluck His fruit, and daily His branches bend down to our hand 
with a fresh store of mercy... 
His Mercies are new every morning and fresh every evening."
Charles Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening"

In the midst of life... busy and full... it is such a blessing to know that God is right there in the midst of it all... meeting our needs and filling our cup.  This is truly the greatest blessing of all.
