“So when I feel like giving up
When I feel like throwing it all away
I look back over my shoulder
And I can see Your goodness every single step that I have taken” Pat Barrett

This post reminds me of this song. So many blessings and goodness this year. New church (and still friends with friends from my old church), new job, leading BSF. So many things. God is always good!

It makes a difference to have him with me in the dark times. In the past I have rejected him and pushed him away. This time I dragged him down with me, partly I think because I was angry. The whole (short) episode was exhaustng (involving family drama as well as the self-created nonsense), but I had my eyes open, emerged with a firmer resolve, and I think I have grown substantially.

I have a fabulous new client — money, tech, people, all wonderful — and I remember when it was sealed that I explicitly thought of it as an answer to my prayers (boring prayers about money and work). That is the first time I’ve thought like that. Another line I’ve crossed I suppose.

When I think of “blessings” I always think of people. So many angels have touched me over the years, while I’ve been raging and wandering.

Thank you for this reminder to give thanks.

Thank you for this beauty. I am trying to wrap my brain around the fact that today is the first day of fall. It is harvest time. But taking time to see the fruit and thanking God for it is the perfect way to begin this new season.

Lisa,

I am thankful for how God continues to pull me closer to Him and for all the healing He has already done in different areas of my life 🙂 Thanks for asking 🙂

What a great reminder, Lisa! I call this “Stones of Remembrance” (inspired by Joshua 4). I have a little notebook I use for this purpose and leave it out for my family to peruse as desired. It’s so, so good to remind ourselves of His faithfulness to us.

Our church has been reading through the psalms together, and so many times there, and all through the Bible, God takes His people back through their past history and His dealings with them. How neat to think of harvesting, not just physical crops, but the blessings and remembrances of God’s hand in our lives.

Amen! Thank you, Lisa, for this reminder. It helps so much to remember God’s goodness in the past. It gives us a different perspective for today and fortifies us for what lies ahead. Love and hugs to you!

This is so great, Lisa! God has blessed me in so many ways and it changes my outlook dramatically to praise Him for the past.
