Five Minute Friday: Gift

I'm teaming up with a ton of other bloggers today over at Kate's for Five Minute Friday meme. 5 solid minutes of no editing and just writing what comes to your mind when you read the prompt.


Today's Prompt:

** GIFT **

and GO....

Coming back from our trip last week has made me realize how far God has brought us.

What a gift the passed time truly has been.

We have grown. Changed as people and all around... GROWN UP.

While we were there we saw places we've lived and memories of how life used to be. We ran into one couple we knew when we all started dating and to hear where they are now, what they shrug off "doing what everyone else is doing...", and looking forward at what we were coming home to... was a gift.

A gift of God's smile and grace. What he provides when you follow him and let him lead your life. How changed you really become and how much more of a family unit he creates through it all. It's a gift I never knew possible for us at the beginning. Hoped for but never knew if it would come to be.

7 or so moves. 3 states. A restored marriage. Our first home. 3 beautiful children. 7+ years of homeschooling. ETERNAL LIFE.

The list goes on and on...

The sun is shining... his glorious blessings in all shapes and sizes are pouring over us today and we all woke up to experience his majesty!



That in and of itself is truly a GIFT!

We are all sooooo blessed!!!

STOP!!!!
