"O Lord, open the eyes of my heart, the eyes of my hands, the eyes of my mouth, the eyes of my feet, I long to live all eye." One Thousand Gifts pg 115
This week I experienced the joy of praising my Lord & savior along side babies through 5 year old boys & girls. With my hands I taught 4 & 5 year olds motions to songs. With my mouth I sang "I Wanna Love You More." With my feet I danced among those boys & girls. With my ears I heard the precious voices of little ones singing for Jesus. With my eyes I watched the faces filled with joy & delight as those boys & girls ran through a cascade of water blessed with the Presence of God's Promise - a beautiful rainbow. With my heart I felt the Presence of God's Holy Spirit. This week I lived "all eye" and experienced the Love of God through a child.
- warm coffee on my sore throat
- quiet time to regroup and rest
- ability to teach boys and girls how to praise Jesus through song during VBS
- spontaneous hug
- group hug from several 5 year olds because they had fun in music
- sweet sound of 40 4 year olds singing praises to God
- family ice cream night
- a husband who works hard so I can stay home and raise our kids
- the calming sense of music
- impromptu dinner with family from far away
- buying the first roses for my yard
- Lazy Saturday mornings
I am counting God's blessings today with multitudes on mondays @ A Holy Experience.In His Calm,
