Thanks sooo much for your prayers yesterday! Today I am well enough to travel to see my chiropractor and get groceries. As always, I love to share a poem and/or a song to express what I'm going through.
A Heart of Gratitude
O Lord, my heart is full of praise,
For answered prayers through all my days.
Your mercy flows, Your love so true,
Each whispered prayer, You always knew.
When storms arose and shadows fell,
You heard my cries, You knew me well.
Your guiding hand, Your gentle care,
Reminded me You’re always there.
For blessings seen and those concealed,
For every wound Your grace has healed,
I lift my voice, my thanks to bring,
To You, my Savior, my everything.
Forever grateful, Lord, I’ll be,
For prayers You’ve answered faithfully.
In every moment, joy or strife,
Your love sustains my soul and life.
Isn't that beautiful? Your love sustains my soul and life!! He certainly does!!
I thought of this song, too, as it's been special to Robert and I since our first Thanksgiving as parents.
My parents, Robert, and I with child traveled to Milwaukee, WI for Thanksgiving. My dad's sister's family lived there and they were hosting the family gathering that year.
My uncle took us to this huge church on Thanksgiving morning. There was a black woman who sang WE ARE SO BLESSED. It gives me thrills to this day and that was 38 years ago. Robert and I sat there and cried as we pondered all of the blessings God had showered us with and now a new one--a child of our own!!
May this post thrill you as you ponder how richly blessed the children of God are!!
Lots of love,
Dawn
