Day 11 - 31DSS

1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the Lord , for he is good; his love endures forever.

Open that gratitude and keep counting all the ways He loves us.
The sunshine, the rain, the harvest, the child's awe at combine and tractor rides, the sweet memories of said rides.  The coolness of fall days, the quick pain of an accident, the passing of a loved one, the sadness at watching your child walk a "different" path than which you had planned for her.
It is in these small things that He showers us with love.  It is in the presence of simple beauty and scary weakness that He is always good to us.
God love is always there, He is always caring, always patiently waiting.  Whatever path you're on, wherever you're going, whatever the choices, whomever you're with.

Amy Grant sings it beautifully in Better Than a Hallelujah Sometimes.

God loves a lullaby
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful,the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what's been done
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful,the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful,the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful,the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
