God's Mercy Endures Forever!

 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Psalm 118:1

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

I was going to do a post on cults for today, but I felt God's urging to skip a day on that because after all, it is about all the negative stuff that goes on in them and I felt He wanted me to offer something positive for today. Early today, I took our two dogs out to let them romp around in our back yard, and I sat on the patio watching them. I began to look around at the new mowed grass that our son Rick and husband Larry had worked on a couple days ago. And it took me back to when we lived in the city not so long ago. It is so peaceful here as compared to our home there. The yard there was not fenced in well, and we could not let the dogs roam around. They had to be on a leash. God in his abundance had not only answered our prayers for what we needed here in this place, but even the dogs are able to enjoy it.

Beyond our fence is a pond that runs in back of a row of homes on both sides of it. Rick had used the weed eater to cut down a lot of the weeds that were growing there. Once in awhile we have seen fish in the water, and  large birds that fly up if we get too close.   And we often hear a bullfrog with a very deep croak. My husband has seen two smaller alligators swim by and we know we have to watch our dogs as we have heard the stories about them here. 

As I looked out over the property though, I thanked God for his mercy. Our journey here had not been an easy one, and there were many times that I felt like giving up. But, I am thankful that I endured it because it has been well worth the wait. And truly God's mercy does endure especially when we hold on to our faith, no matter what is going on around us.

Thank  you God. For not only where you have put us, but for our family members that we are close to here, And for those that aren't. Thank  you for all of your benefits. And thank you for my friends that come each day to visit here. May I never mislead them or make them stray from your truths, and may your blessings so abound on them each day.

Until next time.....
