Good Gifts

Reading this morning about how God loves to give us good gifts.

My times in Williamsburg were a good gift and God reminded me today that He loves to give me gifts like those.  How blessed I am to know He spared nothing for me and that He has done exceedingly above and beyond all I could ever ask or imagine already.  I am in a great place of hopeing for what I cannot see.  I don't know what gifts God could possibly have in store for me here but I know that He does and that they are good.  Of course, He doesn't always define good the way I would like Him to but today He did.

the gift of time
I try to embrace the mentality that I will only get one thing done a day.  This is usually the case BUT today I cleaned my whole house including floors, had time with Jon at my favorite cafe, took a tour of a health club, took the bus to the Colruyt and stocked up on supplies I needed, and now have time to eat lunch and relax before picking up the kids.  This time today was a good gift from God.

the gift of generosity
I toured an amazing women's only work out facility this morning.  It is more than my husband wants to spend.  It took everything in me to surrender it and send him the e-mail that says "I will respect your decision."  And today my frugal husband gave me the gift of "staying sexy and thin."  Thanks honey.  His generosity was a good gift from God.

  1. Love this...I remember exactly where I was, walking to the metro about 2 months after our arrival, when God was speaking the same words to me about our time in PA before we moved to italy. He doesn't change!
