Day 4 of Gratitude

Hello!

Welcome to day 4 of our 30 Days of Gratitude challenge.

This month has been full of miracles for me. Things I wanted, I received. Even as tiny as a bow hair ribbon I wished for. I have had several reasons to laugh and to testify! This is so significant because less than a week ago I was crying in my pillow about how lost and stuck I felt. I couldn’t see the light. I just couldn’t. But as I focus on gratitude, my mind is forced to shift from what hasn’t been working to what is working. I have a million miracles to thank God for! And I’m sure if you look closer, you will see that life isn’t that bad. Let’s get to today’s prompt!

Day 2 of Gratitude

Hello, lovely one!

How was your day? I’m glad you could join me on this 30 Days of Gratitude challenge. There’s something wonderful about the way gratitude shifts our focus from what’s not working in our lives to what is working. It reminds us that even though we aren’t where we wanted to be, we realize things could be worse; but they aren’t. We are still alive and with internet access for you to read this post. When you really look, you’ll find that there are many things to be grateful for.

So, let’s keep looking for those reasons.

Happy New Month!

Wow! It’s already the third month of 2023! It feels very fast and slow at the same time. Like so many things are happening in such a little time. Whew! This can be overwhelming. Or maybe you’re experiencing more of the feeling that time is going but nothing seems to be happening for/to you. I understand that all too well.

In the Multitude

It’s so easy to get lost,

To see yourself moving to the back of the line,

Because you’re not as pretty, as generous, as loving, as powerful, or as holy as the rest.

All you really have is God,

And even this one thing feels so far from reach.

In the multitude,

It’s easy to feel unseen, unheard,

Like you could disappear and no one would notice,

You could be gone without a sound,

You feel abandoned and forsaken.

But what you don’t know is that He knows your name.

He calls you out from the crowd,

Like a Zacchaeus disadvantaged from the start,

Just because of his height.

Listen to His soft voice calling you out of the multitude,

An invitation to dinner,

To spend time with you,

To rest your weary head on His shoulders.

Listen to the sound of your name on His lips as he says, “Come.”

Can a woman forget her nursing child that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. – Isaiah 49:15

Love,
