God's Mercy

"David said to Gad, I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the the Lord, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men."
1 Chronicles 21:13

A time of prayer, a loose tooth, a nap, a good night's sleep and a visit from the tooth fairy, all the while in the palm of his hands.  God's mercy.

It's a new day, travelling the stations of grief and growing. God's mercy.

Phia will possibly try a half day of school.  This morning will tell the tale.  She awoke wearing happiness as usual. God's mercy.

Not wanting to miss another day of school, she fixed her own hair.  (She has been trying to get a pony holder in for hair for about a year or so.)  This is most amazing coordination. Still in her pj's, I took a series of shots, capturing this miracle.  God's mercy.

I call out to God because I believe He hasn't overlooked me and that he is listening.  I'm hoping that because he is God, Father God. 

God's mercy.  I'm never out of his sight.  Never out of the palm of his hands.  Never out of reach.  Never too far from his grace and mercy.  Never ever.

Thank you, Father God, for opening my eyes to see your love and adoration in this life. Continue to guide my trust to your relentless love that never fails.  And when my trust is tested (like yesterday) hold my faith and help me grow stronger.  

Amen.
