"Joy in the Ordinary" has been something Lord has cultivated in me over the years, and He often reminds me; "He is not in the wind, or the fire, or the earthquake but in the "still small voice". His presence is sweet; it strengthens us, but we usually find it in those quiet days, in those ordinary moments, when we pause and take stock of all that we have and worship Him in gratitude for those everyday ordinary blessings. The old expression "count your blessings" is good advice, for in taking stock of every sweet thing we have been given, we find that "abundance" is in our very midst,and are overwhelmed by His goodness. I think if we fail to do this, we most likely are missing out on some of the most wonderful miracles the Lord has ever given us.
So lovely and encouraging Mom! Love you ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, this was so good, and is so important to remember. I love you!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I do believe the still small voice is the sweetest sound.
ReplyDeleteI also try to count my blessings everyday. Miss Ya Roxy
This is so true. Sometimes, at our worship time in the morning, I say to the kids, 'think of the blessings we've had - just this morning since we got up'. In this short time, the blessings are innumerable. They really are. I totally agree that it's in the 'ordinary' things that God makes Himself known so often. They are then NOT ordinary - nothing that comes from our loving, Heavenly Father is 'ordinary'.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing 'ordinary' about Him.
Thanks for posting this.
Love, Anne x
I LOVE the new background Mom! Perfect for spring :)
