Have you ever had a time in your life when you are so overjoyed that you burst out in tears?  I’ve had so many moments of joyous tears streaming down my face lately.  I don’t know if it’s the season in my life of healing and affirmation or if I’m just hormonal?  I’m going to go with the first option….healing and affirmation.

Yesterday I had the privilege of doing a video shoot with New Life 91.9, our local Christian radio station in Charlotte.  When they arrived at my home, I showed them around where I thought we would do the recording.  To my surprise, they picked a spot that hasn’t been cleaned in months, my front porch.  I was a little embarrassed about my dirty porch, but what was I going to do?  As I sat on the chair while they sat up their equipment I couldn’t help but think about sitting in that exact spot 3 years ago while going through chemo, loosing my hair and sleepless nights when I would gaze at the stars and wonder if I was going to die.

Yesterday was a moment in time where gratitude of joy overflowed from my heart.  I could never thank God enough for the miraculous healing in my body.  I could never thank God enough for allowing me more time to become the wife and mother He so desires for me to be.  I could never thank God enough for the countless beautiful relationships I have.  So I woke up this morning and prayed, “God what can I do to thank you for all the blessings in my life?”  He spoke to my spirit and said, “Receive”.  He doesn’t need me to do anything right now, but to soak up his amazing grace and unconditional love.  That’s it!  Today I am going to focus on receiving God’s favor in my life.  What favor has God shown you in your life?  How will you thank God today for those blessings?
