Blessings and Raindrops

seeking joy in the midst of the ordinary

a harvest of blessing.

Remember this lil’ care package? Look! It made it from my arms to the arms of my baby girl!! 
Isn’t it amazing how something so small can mean SO much to a momma’s weary heart? God is so good to provide blessing after blessing as He fights for us to get our girl into our arms. He knows that I’m weary, He knows that I’m aching, He knows that I just need to know she is okay. He knows that I long to have her home. 
And, He knows that these small blessings are treasures. 
Reminders that He is a God of strength and might.
Reminders that He is always faithful. 
Reminders that He is the provider of goodness and mercy. 
Reminders that He never, ever authors pain. 
Reminders that He loves justice and will always defend the oppressed and orphaned. 
Reminders that our daughter is a daughter first and foremost of the King. He loves her fiercely and has protected her and held her close every day of her seventeen months on this earth. 
As I read Paul’s words in his letter to the Galatians this morning, I was struck by their significance for this journey we are on.  
So don’t get tired of doing what is good. Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. 
{Galatians 6:9; emphasis mine}

I will not give up. God is at work and His sovereignty is above all governments and authorities. He will get her home to us. He will continue to fight on our behalf. The bountiful harvest of blessing is within reach.
