I am comforted today in knowing that God’s presence is near.
The Psalmist calls out to God, “On you I was cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.” Psalm 22:10, 11
God’s presence keeps me strong in times of trouble.
In the days when I want to pull my hair out in frustration and there is no one to come along side me, God’s presence in near.
God has been so faithful in my life. From my mother’s womb He has been my God. He has directed my life in good times and he has been near in the bad.
Today I am counting His presence as a gift along with the many other gifts he has so graciously bestowed upon my life this week…

I love the photo of your toddler playing with paper cups! I can relate – my son can make a toy out of most anything, and keep himself happy much longer than a store bought toy! Thank you for sharing your list!

Oh yum! We love blueberry pancakes at our house. And I love when the kids are quiet so I can work on lessons:) Enjoyed visiting today.
