God's Graces

OK, so here I go again......I have felt the proddings lately to write on here again. I have been counting God's graces since last summer and it has changed my life. My perspective is no longer on my woes, but on my WOWS!!! They can be huge, but mostly they are the simple every day things that God blesses my day with.

Like:
#916: family gathered to celebrate the growing lives of my twin boys
#917: a husband who works so hard to provide for our needs
#918: a husband who calls our boys to manhood and to step up to their responsibilities in our home
#919: my little girl and her cousin having such a sweet relationship....I pray it lasts forever

The list goes on and on each and every day. Some days I have to look far and some days they are glaring me in the face and daring me to complain. How can I when I see how God is constantly pouring out His grace into mine and my family's life? He is soooo good!!!

Let me share a quote for you that I read the other day in "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. "Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that I am doing in your life." Wow! How can I NOT see Him involved in every detail of my life?!? His grace flows through every moment of every day of my life and all the craziness and calmness of my days. He is in every single one.

I am very grateful for a God who doesn't sit up there on His throne watching from afar, but instead holds my hand and guides me step by step around each new pothole in the road. He will not let me go! Praise the Lord!
