Blessings from Belleview

It is raining outside. It has been raining most of the day. It is the first time we have had a good rain since we moved here. It has been a long while since they have had a good rain I have been told. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since we have moved here to begin our journey. What a whirlwind of a journey it has been thus far. We are just about completely settled in. Most of our belongings are unpacked except for a few things. I sit here contemplating my sermon for Sunday and thinking of the wondrous blessings of God in my life and in the life of my family. As the sound of the rain lightly pelt the glass storm door just a few feet from me, these words are being played over and over in my mind:
 
"There shall be showers of blessing: This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, sent from the Savior above."

I am humbled by His blessings on my life. We are where we are because of His blessings. As I count them, I realized I can't count them in one sitting, but I can daily praise Him.  Yesterday was a gorgeous day. I sat outside with my children. Mitchell was in my lap and the girls were running, chasing each other, and laughing. Mitchell just watched with a grin on his face. He does not yet know what to do outside. I am slowly teaching him. While April worked inside, my heart overflowed at how great God is. I am so thankful for the opportunity God has given to me and my family. I am working on putting together a story to share how God brought us here to Belleview. As I reflect on our journey for the past 4 months, I can truly see God's hand in all this. Trust Him. Rely on Him. He will get you through and to. It is raining....showers of blessings, I hope it never stops.
