I have experienced such JOY spending time with niece and her beautiful smile, and how she finds joy out of such simple things in life. How she looks at you with joy on her face, is how I believe God looks at us. She brings out the joy in me too. Thank you God for the gift of joy and my niece Bella...
Recently I have had times of just such PEACE. It has been such a blessing, when the world just seems to be moving around me so quickly, and well it doesn't seem the happiest place to be really! So much anger and violence (I am saying this just after all the riots). I have just been able to go to my room, put the fairy lights on and worship music and just relax and step out of the world and step into a peaceful world with my Heavenly Father. Thank you Lord for peaceful moments that refresh me...
I have continually been looked after over the last month (and more!) and God has just PROVIDED exactly the right people at the correct time. I am so grateful for my Christian family, and all their prayers and love. I have moved locations and I know that people are still praying for me, and caring for me. God really overly blessed me in Brazil with the Ward family and them reflecting God so much to me, God knew I needed to be part of a family and He certainly provided...it was certainly different having brothers. Thank you God for your provision of people...
Last week I took my dog for a walk in the park, it was such a nice time to clear my head, get some exercise and get out of the house. What I didn't expect was to experience BEAUTY in such a simple way. It is not the most beautiful park. But as I was starting to get blisters from running after my crazy dog, I stopped and just got a glimpse of a few bright red poppies amongst some long grass....I just thought they were so beautiful, it just made me stop and sense the beauty in the world, and all the creation around me. Thank you Lord for your amazing beautiful creation...
In Brazil one thing I really experienced and continue to here is God's PERFECT TIMING. My biggest thing for me was to be able to say 'good bye' to the girls I had been working with, and I didn't think I was going to be able to, but I was able to get good (cheap) flights the day after group. I was able to gain real closure too. But also in England too, receiving encouraging emails or texts just at the right time, with the exact thing I need to hear, or being invited out by people when I hadn't gotten out of the house enough. With all the scriptures God has been giving me too...Thank you Lord for your timing and that I can trust you with all things...
My list could go on...how God has provided fun for me, all things I can cope with, things working out in His timing, my family, provision with money too, confidence in knowing it is ok to stop and rest, peace in adjusting back into life in the UK, love from so many people and Him.
Just small little gifts in my life - which mean SO much...
What little gifts is God giving to you in your life?
