Today as I watched my kids run around my living room playing “Spiderman and Poppy” I could not help but think how extremely blessed I am. In a world full of comparison and feeling “less than”, today I thought “God I can’t believe all the things you have allowed my hands to hold.” * I am married to one of the most genuine, good hearted, loving and kind people I have ever met. Not to mention he is easy on the eyes and can pic a guitar, throw a baseball, and he still makes me laugh everyday. He loves the Lord and leads our family in a way I could not have even dreamed of as a love sick twenty something girl. * I have been given two wonderful children both of whom are a true joy. They do not even know how they have carried me through hard days, given me reasons to get up and choose joy. I can already see God molding their little hearts and minds and I get misty-eyed just thinking about all they will see and do. * Beyond the tribe that lives under my roof I have been blessed with some of the best family, those who are here and those who have gone before us. I can never really think of a time in my entire life where I felt unloved, not believed in, or left out. They really have believed that I could do ANYTHING. They are strong and brave and I want to be like them when I grow up. * I also have the best job in the world. I get to do what I love with people I love. I can look back on my life and see moments where God was molding me to do what I am doing right now, in this season. I work for a church that loves the Gospel and with people who love Jesus. No gimmick, no facade, just Jesus. Did I mention I work with my husband on the daily… if you need to know what I think about him, refer to first point. * There are people in my life who cheer me on, who pray for me, who believe in me. If you know, you know. * The list could seriously go on and on… my house, my favorite gray sweat shirt, my eno, etc. I can’t even begin to wrap my my around the things the Lord has allowed my hands to hold, though His goodness and grace. Take inventory... what do you get to hold?
