Today

Today I have a heart bursting with praise. I want to stand up, throw my hands in the air and jump all around. Why you ask? I can't put my finger on it. Something in the morning darkness, waking children for a FCA meeting, making coffee, waking husband with kisses on the forehead, packing lunches for my Things, little boy good morning snuggles, Thing 3's long, silky pony tail. I just don't know. There is an air about me that wants to praise today. I know nothing remarkable happened. Or did it?

I believe so. I believe that everyday there is opportunity, a gift tucked away waiting to be unearthed. A gift placed by the Father. The Father who desires my praise, who zealously seeks me out. Who, when my hands are stretched up towards Him, reaches down to grace mine. That is remarkable.
