What does feeling amazed....feel like?
Overwhelmed by His Goodness.. Overwhelmed by His Hands in My life...
Overwhelming tears that quietly stream down cheeks because His love for us is amazing. I can feel it. I can see it. I am Grateful.
Our store was part of a big Vintage fair this weekend. We did it with our friends The Smiths. It was a great show, busier than ever, the wonderful people behind this show put forth huge effort to make it feel like a family event. We had a great time, we met many people, made new friends and it was good!
As I was watching my husband and Heathers husband, I felt this huge gratitude toward our friends.. the kind that sort of stops time for a minute. I thanked the good Lord for bringing these people into our lives. My life is forever changed by these people who are so kind, so helpful, so humble to come and help us run our store. I have to admit I haven't always loved people in the way God calls us to Love one another.. I have always had a "chip" on my shoulder about saying "I love you" or letting my friends know how much I love them. its odd really.. and not a great trait to have! I don't know where I was jaded in the way of showing my gratitude towards people, especially the ones I love. We have been changed by the many people God has brought into our lives in the past 2 years. He has shown us through the LOVE of others, the kind of love that wants nothing in return.
It has changed me.
and I like it!
God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
I love this because its true!
Mark 12:30-31 "and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. there is no other commandment greater than these."
