Thankful Thursday

My sweet Little Dove is sick with a sore throat and tummy.
She has the sneezes too. Sweet girl is an easy patient, very good natured.

I am so very thankful that we are able to have me home with the children. That is a huge blessing to me. When I think of many who have to leave to go to employment how very hard it must be for them.
How healthy Dove has always been even as a baby. She was so ill in Russia but once she recovered she has been such a healthy child. It is a gift and a wonder how merciful God has been in her health.
Mercy = unmerited favor
Mercy has followed me all the days of my life. I have watched the shadow of its wing above me. Sheltering me, abundantly blessing me. I have lived under this covering. known the peace and prosperity of it. Unmerited? Nothing I did or am deserves it. It simply is.
Yet I read and understand that there is a measure of obedience that brings in a harvest. The 10 commandments the ultimate commandment in the New Covenant... to Love the Lord God with all my heart, soul and mind and to love my neighbor as myself.
The heading of the call... If My People who are called by My Name will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and repent...I shall hear from Heaven and heal their lands.
Oh how many many fields need to be healed so that healthy crops can be harvested into this mighty nation. Is my own field in need? A question I suppose all of us could use to ask.
Create in me clean hands and a pure heart. Let me be like Him in all my ways.
