“Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3

Happy Friday! I have been so struck this week with how merciful our God is. Often I complain and am discontent with things in life. Challenges can throw me for a loop and before I know it, I am an ungrateful little stinker! God gently reminds me that He has saved my soul. What is anything in light of that? He has given me all of my days and they are each a gift - complaining is being ungrateful, and I have nothing to be ungrateful for. He is always good and always merciful!

He even looks after the little details, like the above-pictured donut. I had thought earlier in the week about what a birthday cake would look like for a 10am party, and settled on a donut-type dessert being a good idea. Really didn’t want to do a drive-thru donut, since they don’t taste as good and usually upset everyone’s stomachs. But, I had no idea when I would make the 40-minute trip to our favorite donut place…and I wasn’t sure I wanted to make any…so I completely forgot about it. (This is typical, and I end up having to pull something out of thin air last-minute. Heh.)

Unrelated, Thursday I had a last-minute doctor appointment that seemed like a total waste of time. Drove an hour up to see a doctor for three minutes before being set back home. But, right down the road from the office is a fabulous donut shop. So we grabbed some donuts and drove home.

It wasn’t until I got home and settled that I realized I had the donut I needed for my little guy’s birthday. Even when we’re space cadets the Lord looks out for us! He obviously didn’t have to add this little detail to my life, but He did and I am thankful!

Has the Lord blessed you in creative ways this week?

Have a great weekend! :)
