Asking the Lord to renew my mind daily has brought about so many revelations on my current days. Being surrounded by boxes full of belongings, my soul can't help but offer up thanksgiving and praise. God in His goodness, mercy, and grace has chosen to shower us, in wealthy America, with good gifts. Extremely blessed. . .
The chaos of sorting through these everyday - multiple times. . .
Turns into thankfulness for soap, shampoo, make-up (amen!), toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, perfume, and hair accessories.
This (although barren to some). . .
turns to praise for cozy carpet and cuddle time as we all crowd into one chair.
The inconvenience of cooking and eating utensils being packed away turns to thanks for family and friends that have us over for dinner, drive-thrus (you know you agree), and easy to fix meals (BLTs, tator tots, and spaghetti - woohoo!)
Toys packed away prove that a five year old CAN be content with just a few simple things.
Lord, you are revealing much and growing our family in the grace and knowledge of you. Thank you for making Yourself known to us through these days. . . may we be quick to praise when we glimpse your Glory.
