Hold My Hand, Please

I snapped this picture while we were in the car today......

 

 

I tend to forget how big they get sooo quickly and how small they are at the same time. Thanking God for this moment and how I can grab His hand any time....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Glimpse of Mercy

Today, I was watching my youngest two children playing together. The baby was laughing at her 3 yo brother as he hugged her up close and made faces at her. I was captivated as I stood watching because I wanted this moment to last. I want to stop more often and catch the kids loving each other. I pray that they feel that loved by me. And, I pray that I remember this moment was a glimpse of the way God loves us. He loves me. That is so awesome. Not that he is making funny faces, but he loves purely. I am so grateful.

Reflections of Mercy

Almost a month ago, today, one of our children was saved. I will never forget his expression as he came to me and said,"I need to be saved right now." His soul was saved, praise be to God!!
Over the past weeks, it has been so good to reflect on how I was saved by grace myself. How I need to keep fresh on my own mind God's mercy in my life many times over. There is some difficult territory that we are in as a family right now, but His mercy is there, waiting to be gathered every morning. I am so thankful.
Ephesians 2:8,9

Faithfulness and Mercies

Lamentations 3:22-24

King James Version (KJV)

 ²²It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
 ²³They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
 ²⁴The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
