Living in Gratitude

April 29, 2015

My heart is full of gratefulness and praise. Marvelling in God’s love and providence. Humbled by his blessings and thankful for his mercy.

After years of struggling with infertility and praying for the blessing of children especially my two handsome little boys, I find myself continually amazed. Continually grateful.

It may have not been my timing, but each piece God perfectly placed together. His will beyond my understanding and comprehension, but far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

I go through the day looking into their big brown eyes and cannot help but thank God for bringing them into my life. Living in gratitude for the gift they are.

Seeing their progress and how far they have come in just a short four months brings tears to my eyes. Being able to teach them is a gift in itself. The sense of accomplishment and how proud they are as they write their names and learn new things.

Yesterday I helped our youngest learn how to ride his bike without training wheels. He was beaming with excitement, a smile from ear to ear. Today they put together a large floor puzzle all by themselves that just a short time ago they needed my help with.

I thank God he led us to Ghana. I thank God for allowing me to be a part of their lives.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
