Thankful

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever."

Psalm 107:1

I am thankful for so many things, but foremost is the love from God that has taught me how to love others, how to receive love, and how to live in this world. I don't think I could do my job as Mostly Mom, wife to that cutie Irishman and my friends and other family members if I didn't have God's perfect love in my heart. There are so many days that, as my Beth Moore "Esther" study says, it's tough being a woman! Thank heaven that God knows every little struggle, every little flaw, every little mountain I'm climbing. And thank the Lord that He loves my hubby and my kidlets even more than I can fathom. That kind of love is staggering and hard to imagine---I mean, I'm a fierce mama bear when it comes to loving my man and my babies. But more love than that?

"Greater love hath no man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friends"

John 15:13

His friends, his enemies, their children and their children's children. Amazing. Staggering. Truly incomprehensible. I am so blessed to have healthy children, a husband I adore (and who I'm pretty certain loves me like crazy #2, too), and a wonderful family. But most of all, I am blessed to be a child of a Creator who loves me more than I can ever fathom or ever deserve.
