Every Monday she is hosting this wonderful theme whereby we join in counting the blessings of our lives online, I pick up at 16Mountaintop experiences1... this week Ann encourages us to focus on the JOY we have in our daily lives
today I pick up at
181. God's provision through and after the storm
182. God's rest and peace when the enemy is doing all in his power to rob me of it
183. Strength to endure the work and clean up and life concerns without electricity in temperatures topping 100 degrees ( raking my parents yard so Lynn could bag the debris, and searching out resources we needed, store after store after store by myself)
I generally would have heretofore thought this was too daunting to consider... but with God we can do all things
184. God's protection in many areas
185. Personal perseverance that for me only comes from the Lord
186. Allowing us our power to be back on after 24 hours.... SO sad that many after 60 hours are still in the dark and heat
187. Air conditioning is a huge gift of God
188. Life together in the church... to see our church leadership
loving the flock through their acts of kindness and service was truly awesome
189. a caring phone call from my cousin, Pamela was a huge blessing
190. My parents living in Assisted Living were unscathed by this storm... Praise God for his timing in that!
I came over from Ann's blog today, just to visit a bit. I too am a retired teacher :) I hope the power stays on for the rest of the summer! May you be covered in His love and His grace every day.
