A List of His Graces
[bl]T[/bl]oday I rise with a thankful heart. To be in the place God has me. To be with the people I love to be with. To worship with like-minded souls. To Clean a house that holds me so well. To parent children I adore. It’s one of those days where I want my eyes to capture it all. To see Him in all things. I want my mind to be clear of clutter. To think on all that he has gifted. And I want my heart to recognize this place of goodness. Because I know I won’t always be here. Here, my present reality. I know the time will come when things will change. When we’re called to more responsibility and new realities that force us out of here — this place — that used to be new and awkward, and now it’s comfortable and us. So I stop to list them. The things I’m seeing. The things I’m thankful for. A grateful heart, following the lead of another.
