Elbow Deep

Oh Lord, Your many kindnesses to us
I see it in my days here
as I'm cleaning the water that has saturated the floor
as I'm teaching 2 column subtraction
when the little person is working on staying in their own bed
when the heart to heart talks are many and needed
when I want to move to Australia to get away from me, but I can't because it will still be me I see in the mirror

I am so thankful for

• friends who lend their ears and hearts
• Your Word, which has Your words and thoughts
  
• Above Rubies status updates on Facebook
• quilts, comforters which make these cool nights offer restful sleep when it is available
• cotton towels
• Holy Spirit guidance
• the fun we feast on through the many children books available to us
• laughter
• medicine by having a cheerful heart
• David Crowder's worship ministry
• Beth Moore's teaching which still ring in my ears
• the magnificent colors of autumn
• Your Grace which invites me again and again into Your loving arms
