Blessings…
…are all around us.
- They are in the strong-willed toddler whose lack of humility mirrors my own.
- They are in unforeseen delays that bring us home a day later, protecting us from only God knows what.
- They are in windows that won’t roll up and windshield wipers that will not work. Grudginly taking the van into the shop reveals a cracked rear axle that could have given way with our babies in the back seat.
- They are in the hours of food preservation spent with my children, teaching me patience and opening up conversations with a four year old about God’s provision.
God’s sovereignty is in every "inconvenience", every late night feeding, every long day. I see His blessings in the snuggles of our two-year-old and the challenges of being a wife and mother.
They are all in His plan. It is all for good. They are all for His glory.
Great post… thank you for the important reminders. 🙂
so true Shannon.
I love this. I do also feel that God’s blessings come in disguise and it is up to us to find them through the seemingly difficult things in life. Thanks for this reminder and this post!
Thank you.
Beautiful and oh, so true.
I needed to read this–thank you for sharing!
hello! i have recently really started reading your blogs and what not and i absolutely love your website! I myself (thanks to my mother) have been raised on several principles that you have made known on your website!!!
1) Keep God first in your life
2). growing foods fresh from the garden, plus canning and making things from scratch
3)raising chickens, turkeys, pigs
4)fresh eggs
5)cleanliness
6)orgional housekeeping (sowing, cooking, cleaning, being hospitable)
I had origionally come across your website when i was looking up how to make crock pot yogurt (which we still haven’t tried yet- need to though!) and then i decided to subscribe to your blogs. and i love it!
I am in the process now (hopefully) of buying my first house with my fiance and I! we are so excited and hopefully we will have a greenhouse built (thanks to his handiwork) soon after the wedding.
so i would like to ask, as you write about the joys of housekeeping, healthy eating, nuturing, and blessings, could you also right about the joys of being a wife? obviously it isn’t all that your site is about, but in my opinion, being a wife has to be one of the greatest things ever. i would just love to hear about your experiences being a wife! thanks!!!
