Just for Moms,
I am thankful for the grace that God gives to us each day. I'm thankful that He is always there working on my behalf...before I am fully aware of the needs of the day!
I'm finding with the extra time and slow pace of life...that I do not have the natural focus of my thoughts on God's grace as I crawl out of bed and start moving around for the day. Am I the only one who has noticed this? Most often, I can hit the ground running when I need to...but it is a struggle...and I don't enjoy doing that. We have always got up early at our house...so we have time. I like time to wake up and sit and quietly start the day. Right now, I am wondering if I will ever be able to go back to the schedule we kept before March 23! Oi!
I am thankful that I can get up each day! I am then in pursuit of the ever-desired cup of coffee...and when it is not there...I am disappointed. I look forward to mornings because of that first cup of coffee...and the quiet moments to get my heart and mind focused for the day.
I am thankful for the time to savor my first cup of coffee today and read God's Word. I wonder if that was part of God's plan in allowing this "pandemic mess" to get us to stop and really figure out what is most important. God didn't create what has happened...but He allowed it...for our good and His glory. Has it showed me my weaknesses? My strengths? My fears? My frustrations? This morning...it is quiet enough to hear what He is saying. Proverbs 29:1...He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck...shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
With love,
Kari...just a mom who doesn't want to miss God's remedy...and I know it isn't coffee
