SO GOOD THAT IT HURTS (SAFARI PARK)


Sitting in traffic on the way home from a day at the Safari Park and my heart is so full it might burst at the sound of the song
and the flashbacks of the day and I'm suddenly so aware that this blessed life sometimes feels so good that it hurts.

I thank you, Lord Jesus, for this family of mine that stretches and challenges, encourages and loves me
chock-full to the top and overflowing with gratitude that you would think to give me such a precious gift.

The woman at the counter pushed away tears (which is more than I can say for myself) as she looked into our children's eyes today at the zoo. "Homeschool?" She asked and she choked up as she followed with comments of the love she could feel and here I am feeling the same as I reflect on this really great day in the life and it's all just so good that it hurts.



"And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."
John 1:16
