Perhaps the reason you are drawn to flowers is not only for their outer beauty, but because they remind you beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting. – Morgan Harper Nichols

Daily Delights // Thursday
Daily Delights // Tuesday
As news of the virus becomes more inescapable, I thought it would be helpful to just start noticing the good things, the blessings, and all the ways that I still feel God meeting me exactly where I’m at during this time of uncertainty. I’ll be sharing these things regularly as a reminder to me and as an encouragement for you to look for them in your life as well. God is over this and He’s in it with us. Here’s how that looked today.
My co-workers are hard at work sleeping today.
Lyrics
May your struggles keep you near the cross
And may your troubles show that you need God
And may your battles end the way they should
And may your bad days prove that God is good
And may your whole life prove that God is good
God is Good – Jonathan McReynolds

A Photo From Today
We have some massive 50+ year old trees in our yard which had recently just shedded some catkin-type things and they all got stuck in the gutter shields, causing a massive puddle on our driveway after it had rained all night. Kevin and I spent some time with the power washer (on a low setting) getting those unstuck, which turned into power washing the siding and patio in the rain.
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
Counting the Joy
