It’s good to be on the back side of several hectic weeks. I
can finally breathe again.
Speak in full sentences again.
Relax with a cup of coffee and have a phone conversation
again.
Even (dare I venture to admit) work in the garden again!
But in the middle of my running around these past weeks, a
simple thought kept rising to the surface over and over. So much so that I
finally started to speak the words out loud at random moments and my spirit
still jumps with joy each time:
Thank you for it
ALL!
…and repeat.
I can’t help but to keep thanking God for ALL of it; all the
years and the days, all the "stuff" I may never understand, all the different relationships and people I’ve met along
the way, all the experiences that have lead up to this point in my life. I
thank Him for all the disappointments and heartache, all the joy and elation,
moments that still the breath and bring the tears.
Thank you for it
ALL!
I thank Him for the feeling of being settled and resting in
that safe and comfortable place with Him. I thank Him for the sweetness of
knowing Him and that He cares about all that burdens my heart.
Thank you for it
ALL!
Thank you, Jesus!
