God's love.

Sometimes life hits you so hard it knocks you off your feet, knocks the wind out of your chest and makes you feel like you might never breathe right again. Tonight I am struck by God's presence in my life. His constantness. His ability to walk beside, and even carry me when I am lost and lonely. I see God around me constantly in my yard, my flowers, my children, my friends, my husband, the birds of the air, the animals in my yard, the list could go on and on. I am grateful for his Grace and the unquestionable knowledge that there is nothing I can do to make him stop loving me! Thank you God for loving me so much, for never pushing me away, for holding me and listening to me and wiping away my tears, for showing yourself in my flowers, in the smiles of my children, in the bandaid presented by my daughter, and in the "I love you" of my husband.
