Every time we take a morsel of food into our mouths, we taste the Lord's goodness to us. Food to nourish, food to delight us...food, the blessing of a Heavenly Father.
Every time we open our eyes, we can look and see the Lord at work and can understand His goodness in our lives. A million beautiful sights and more to see in a year - beautiful evidences of our glorious Creator God. How blessed we are to live in a place, so close to God's wonderful creation! Yet in every tiny place in the world there are creatures, plants that reflect our God's awesomeness and creativity in tiny detail. And always we can lift up our eyes and see the heavens declare His glory.
And even in this, none can compare to the beauty of human love, the human smile, a touch of gentleness, sweet laughter, a joyous occasion shared together...precious moments with family and friends. This a reflection of God's beautiful love for us. Eternal love, saving love, gracious merciful love, gentle love, deep love, never ending love, sovereign Romans 8:28 love, perfect love... love full of hope with the gift of life in all it's fullness and the hope of eternal life with no more sorrowing, no more suffering, no more veil, no more sin.
May we be filled with gratitude as we come to the end of the year and may our 2014 be filled with gratitude and thankfulness to our Lord, no matter what it brings.
Below are snippets of moments in our year...
