This is my story, this is my song...praising my Savior all the day long!Joy has often been elusive for me. Or possibly it was my own idea of what JOY is that made it seem elusive for me.But, just like the beatitudes in Matthew, often God's view of things is totally counter-cultural to the world's.

Give me Hinds Feet for High Places
Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.

Honestly, I didn't know how long I would last. I am great at starting things, but often I fizzle out over time. I had no idea how much I would need an ever-growing list that I would add to each week of the gifts God brought to me. In November of that year, God knew I would start a journey for me that I would not want to take. He knew I ... Read More about How Gratitude Can Change a Heart
