Do you have any idea how true this is? It constantly blows me away.
Sitting around on the front porch, drinking sweet tea, and flipping back and forth from having discussions about serious things like God's will and how it works in our life to silly conversations where we laugh our heads off....ordinary? Yes. But with special people....extraordinary.
Moving hay, singing songs, working, playing, laughing, crying - all these things that we do on an everyday basis....how wonderful to do them with other people who are fun, encouraging, thoughtful, and trying to live for Christ.
God has blessed me SO MUCH with the amazing people He has placed in my life.
+David Ronsick, +Josiah Tech, +A Hoody, +Brennan Coccimiglio, +Macy Coccimiglio, +Jasmine Ruigrok, and of course +Anna Dales & +Jessie Dales ....
I am so thankful for all of you. Each one of you has been an incredible encouragement to me, and I love you guys so much!!
*hugs*
*bearhugs tight* I know EXACTLY what you mean!! I have this statement I make inside my head whenever I get that moment of clarity and see God's goodness in an ordinary moment made extraordinary by the people you're with; I sit back and see it through blessed eyes, and simply think - "this is God". This... This intrinsic goodness, the deep deep love for amazing people in your life, silly conversations and dumb comments that crank you up, sweet tastes, cool breezes, the soft touch of sunlight and the companionship of siblings in Christ... It's all God. That's what He's all about; being recognised for Who He is in all those beautiful little things. :)
ReplyDeleteI rambled on a bit there. All to say I know just what you mean and I'm incredibly blessed to be counted as such a friend to you Lisa. You are such a one to me too. :) xox
I totally agree. Our family's really haven't done that much, but doing it together makes it so much more than just putting up fences or moving bird cages.
ReplyDeleteI guess that is how God's family is supposed to work. :)
I totally love this, and find it so true! Who I'm with means so much more to me than where I am or what I'm doing. Good friendships are such a special blessing from God.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Post! You have been given a precious gift, treasure it. I love what Bushmaid commented "see God's goodness in an ordinary moment made extraordinary by the people you're with; I sit back and see it through blessed eyes, and simply think - "this is God".
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for those "kindred spirits" in my life! Porch friends are the best, even those precious ones we only see on line now :-)
