November Gratitude Day 20

Gratitude

Today I'm grateful for my hands. 

It is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. 

To touch and feel to live. Hands represent so much life. 

From the small baby hand reaching out to the mothers heart and hand. 

To the lessons of learning about life. 

To the woman holding her child. 

In old age holding the hands of those she loves. 

Then reaching to the heavens as her days grow shorter in time. 

Telling the stories of her life. 

Yes! 

I use them for everything I do in life everyday. 

The work of my hands that have provided my livelihood. 

To care of myself and those I love.. 

But the most important thing they have been used for is to love those around me. 

My most precious has been to hold my babies and guide them in love with these hands. 

Then with age holding and sharing my life with others that have been added throughout the years. 

My hands! 

The touch and feelings of life that flow through these hands.

Day 20~ Faith

Was trying to figure out how to picture faith. My life is a daily walk of faith and belief. I thank God daily for my mom that brought us up in the faith of the Lord. Not even sure how to example this faith as it was installed in me as a very young child. A faith that knows without a shadow of a doubt that though I'm loved that there is one greater who loves me more and will always watch over me and hold me though I cannot see Him or touch Him. As I do know I see Him in the eyes of those I love and I can touch Him in the beauty of life all around me. That I cannot live one day without Him., and I don't want to try and imagine my life without Him. As I'm sure that He has saved me and brought me through many storms and has been on the mountain tops with rejoicing as well. And faith is so much more and to each of us something different. The faith I have a Father a Savior the Lord Jesus who loves me without fail.

Mark 11:22-24 English Standard Version (ESV)
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received[a] it, and it will be yours.

Found this child's view master while cleaning out boxes. 

This was one of my daughters when they were young.
