"One generation shall praise Thy works to another,
and shall declare Thy mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Thy majesty,
and on Thy wonderful works, I will meditate.
And men shall speak of the power of Thine awesome acts;
and I will tell of Thy greatness."
Psalm 145:4-6
On this Full of Thanks Friday, I am finding myself especially thankful for the precious opportunity to influence the next generation for Jesus. I am humbled. And I recognize every single day that my son is a blessing and one that I certainly did not deserve ...
My husband and I experienced a few disappointing miscarriages prior to my son's birth. I share this with such fragile care, as I know so many women experience hurt and heartache regarding becoming pregnant.
Not one day goes by that I am not humbled by the fact that God has blessed us with this little one. But as I have mentioned before on this blog and at a recent speaking engagement -- After my second miscarriage, I resolved in my heart that I would trust God regardless of the outcome. That I would trust God that I would become a mother. Whether from my own womb or not.
God allowed my sweet little Hamilton to come into our lives. But He did not have to. And I am well aware of that. Absolutely and fully aware.
So today ... I am thankful for him. And I am thankful for the opportunity to influence the next generation for Jesus. I long to praise His works to my son. And I pray that Hamilton grows up to know and believe that our God is mighty and powerful and awesome, as the Scripture above states.
I long to tell of His greatness. Do you?
And here is a fun picture from our family photo shoot this afternoon. Our little guy was worn slap out after all the pictures. I know you're probably thinking it's terrible that I am posting a picture of my child looking so upset, but it really was actually a pretty humorous moment ...
Even in the "cranky" moments ... his mama is thankful :)
What about you? What are you thankful for on this Full of Thanks Friday??
