As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Thanksgiving Silence

The house is quiet.  The dog is sleeping.  And, the dishes are done.  You wouldn't have guessed that just a short time ago, this house was filled with giggles, talking, music, and energy!  It was a wonderful day filled with family, friends, and food!  And, underneath it all was the heart of it all- love and thankfulness for the blessings God has given each one of us.  It was beautiful chaos at times.  But, a day I treasure with people I treasure.
But, now in the beauty of silence I am overwhelmed by what God has given me.  Sometimes, in the quiet, when I'm focusing on God, I feel as though He is wrapping His arms around me, comforting me.  And, in this time, I feel God telling me it will all be ok.  And in this moment, I am reminded of a favorite verse of mine. 
"Be still and know that I am God."  Psalm 46:10
After all, with all of the blessings God has given me so far, how could I ever think He would leave me now?  So, as our family faces another possible health issue, I know God will see us through.  God has blessed me with the amazing people He has put in my path to help me.  With all of the love and support we have from family and friends, I know whatever happens, we won't be alone.
So, where is God?  He's in my family and friends as I see His love for me through them.
"Be still and know that I am God."  Psalm 46:10
Blessings,
Jennifer
