God's Love & Sloppy Kisses

It's been a long, tiring week for reasons beyond not getting anywhere with DHS and foster care research, but TODAY was a bright, shining day. God reminded me (I hate that I need reminding) just how faithful he is. He provided me snapshots of me, in moments of high and low, while narrating the story that he wrote.

My life has been marred by different failures - people, body, personal mistakes...but never by God. God has never failed me. If that doesn't put a bounce in your step, I don't know what will.

I walked in the door with a light heart and immediately started wrestling with Ty, when he grabbed both my cheeks and gave me an under-puckered, wet, sloppy kiss.

I cried with joy, thanked God for his goodness, and continued to chase Ty around the kitchen table.

Why do I doubt?


God's sweet love.

    I love that term "under-puckered" sloppy kisses. Ah yes, the joy of baby kisses. Or in your case, big boy toddler kisses. :)

    You are right. There are so many things in this life that can bring us down or cause panic or hopelessness in our hearts but there is always one true constant--God. How great and powerful is He! ;-) He surrounds us with His love and His mercy.
    By the way, Ty looks like he was reaaally enjoying his cone. ;-) Cute

    So true. Just earlier I was listening to the song "Your Love Never Fails" by Chris McClarney. The chorus goes "Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me." It's so beautiful. Your post reminded me of it. :)

    God never said this life would be easy. It definitely is not. But He is faithful. My verse for today was "And my God will provide all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:19

    I think Ty is living proof of Gods sweet mercy and grace. Ty's life has brought such healing and comfort. You say it so well, God never fails.

    Love,
