Even in trials...

One of our puppies got hurt today, we are not sure if it was while he was chasing after the rabbits who escaped, or if it was when the youngest dropped him in the kitchen...

A friend who lives overseas kept me updated on some emergency surgery her child was having...

Another friend just got some hard to hear news about her youngest child and his medically uncertain future... 

And yet, in it all, God is God and He is using these things. From the mundane to the tragic, He has orchestrated each of these events to teach us more about Him, to conform us into the image of Christ, His Son. And all the while, through the sorrows and the joys He is revealing how He is sending blessing in the everyday things around us, if only we will take notice... 

211. Fresh fruits and veggies to enjoy at every meal
212. Being able to trust the Lord no matter the circumstances
213. Laughter with friends
214. Snickers dip with Granny Smith apples
215. Praying for friends who are dealing with medical emergencies
216. Repentance, and God's mercy shown through little children
217. Clean laundry piling up in the red chair in my living room
