Sometimes I do find myself wanting to tell the whole world about the little tiny incidences God moves into my heart and keeps it together, …  things like yesterday? I took Vivi out, couldn't find what she had done so came back in only to realize I had to wash my shoes, and I was planning to give her a bath. I was amazed at how that just didn't bother me. Then I could not find the shampoo, but finally did, only to realize I couldn't get the shower head down like it is supposed to come so I could work better with it. After a while and finally realizing I was going to make myself fall I decided we'd do it in the tub. for the first time ever Vivi hopped in the tub like she really wanted a bath; thank God. Usually I have to pick up her 55 pounds. And all of that does not even include such a silly thing as dropping an empty soda bottle on the kitchen floor and not being able to find it. Once upon a time I could have seen it, but this time it required a prayer which God quickly answered. And oh how I could go on and on and on forever. We all have little frustrations that pop in and out of our heart so quickly we almost forget to say "thank you" to our precious Jesus when they are over. I am overwhelmed, overcome, and tearfully humbled by the blessings God has poured all over me! Letting go of this life seems so difficult, yet as it falls away bit by bit my spiritual hands can't raise high enough!  These moments of God's presence seem rare at times until we pick up a day, look at it and ask:  Where did I see Jesus today? It always amazes me when things that should frustrate me don't, and things that shouldn't, do. It's only when I walk constantly remembering who gives me the air to breathe that I realize the eternal joy of God that wraps my life up in His grace and makes my paths straight.
