I watched my sister with her newest little boy and had to catch my breath.  Her hair was all gathered up into a ponytail and a half-eaten bowl of oatmeal next to her elbow.  But even though that little guy had kept her up the night before and kept her from finishing her breakfast before it became cold, she was still looking at him as if he was the most beautiful thing in the world.

There was no resentment there.  No self-pity.  No anger.  In moments where all sanity could and should devilishly dive out the window, she was calm and choosing to love him with every inch of her mother's heart. 

Oh, God, you truly give us the very best gifts.  I loved how my verse to memorize last week, John 1:16, danced through my head as I watched my sister and nephew together.  How perfectly precious.

Because he was full of grace and truth, from him we all received one gift after another. 
John 1:16

There are so many moments that life seems common and unworthy of anything but trudging diligence to carry on.  But God is so much more imaginative than that.  When I remember how amazing is our God and how His love shines into every little thing of our lives, I can see that precious beauty which alludes me when my thoughts are self-centered and defeated.  For God is full of all things great and we all receive from him one precious gift after another. 

My verse for this week is John 2:5.  It is a command, a simple statement full of promise and faith.  It is, "Do whatever he tells you." 

Because God is full of grace and truth and I can do whatever he tells me and believe he will care for my life perfectly. 

It's going to be a good week.  It has to be.  My God is good.  My God is great.
Do whatever he tells you.
John 2:5
