Well here goes, my first step into the world of blogging !!!
I read a wonderful article by a leader of our church yesterday - Elder David A Bednar spoke of 'The tender mercies of the Lord' and it touched my heart. Tender Merices are those amazing blessings that come to us from God - those tiny things that happen each day that could so easy be sidelined as consequences, but actually make our life so amazing and lovely.
Life has a habit of throwing some hard things our way...so in my jolly way I have determined enough is enough...the world can do what it likes but my focus is going back to those wonderful, joyous blessings that come every day :-)
So what happened that was jolly today....I had the best nights sleep I have had in weeks, I had a nice peaceful drive into work and then various notes and messages from friends showing they care. Does it get any better than that? Well that remains to be seen....lets see what tender mercies are in the pipeline for tomorrow...
Come and join me in my world of jolliness and spread a bit of joy - and please let me know the tender mercies in your day..... Remember Gratitude turns what I have into enough.
Gratitude is a timely subject here in the US, what with Thanksgiving the day after tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteToday, my bubble of joy was spending the day with my grandson, James. I am so thankful that he lives near enough that I can witness his first tooth appear, or see those first little Frankenstein steps as he learns to walk. I burst with joy when he throws his chubby little arms around my neck and gives me a hug and a kiss.
I'm happiest when my family are around me. Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for this moment in time and not just file it under another day done.
Loves to you and your mum!
