Hilltops and a Valley of Vision

Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see Thee in the heights....Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up,...that the broken heart is a healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown,...that the valley is the place of vision. -- Puritan prayer

Lazy morning photos

I am thankful that my girls are growing in their love for one another.

I'm thankful Tabitha is sleeping for longer stretches at night.

I'm thankful for supernatural mercies that are new every morning even after short nights of sleep.

I'm thankful that we serve a God of peace and love, a Father to turn to when my eldest has nightmares. He is a Good Shepherd. I'm thankful for the Words of hope that I can share with my girls.

I'm thankful for the sunshine today, a deck covered by trees and a sand box and swing set close to the house :)
