new mercies i see

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!"

722. family responding to the alter call and giving their lives to Jesus!  
723. my husband's mad money-managing skills
724. family movie night at home
725. little ones faces peeking out of hoods, protected from raindrops
726. waking up to rain, and an all day downpour


"Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love."

727. homemade garden veggie chili aplenty
728. new, clean grocery store in our neighborhood

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, 
for his compassions never fail. 
They are new every morning; 
great is your faithfulness. 
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; 
therefore I will wait for him."
Lamentations 3:22-24 NIV
