In gratitude on my Birthday

In Gratitude on My Birthday

February 2, 2019October 13, 2019Leave a comment

Some days I celebrate the basic stuff like breathing, hands to hold, ears to hear, and beauty that unfolds in the beat of my heart. Other days I’m in awe of what I’m privileged to witness...

Today is Career Day at school. She says she wants to combine her love for reading, science, and art, so she decided she wants to be a science book illustrator. 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽 (Also, I did not tell her to make this pose. Girl’s got poise.)
Me: “Ellis, who do you want to be for Historical Figure Day at school?” Ellis: “Wilma Rudolph! She had polio and was told she’d never walk, but became a fast runner. She won awards.”
Instead of stressing out about my daughter’s two-hour delay this morning, I cancelled my appointments, made a hot breakfast, gave the girls tea, and took my oldest to a coffee shop to play rummy before school. I don’t always make the right decisions. God knows I don’t, but I’m thankful for the gift of changed plans today.
Eternity does not start with our dying breath. It is now, as we engage with the eternal God. In John 17:3 Jesus prayed, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Don’t waste today waiting for a magical “someday.” Even as we wade through the daily muck and mire, hold tight to the Eternal One, because He is more than just a future hope. He is our hope and promise for today.
