This was a beautiful post Jennifer, it felt like it flowed right out of you! Thank you for sharing your heart! As you know, I am learning the heart of gratitude right now too, in all things. God is good. -Blessings out to you girl, Amy

This is beautiful writing Jen. God is amazing, ESPECIALLY in the midst of pain and sorrow. Had I not gone through it, I wouldn't have known just how great and how good He truly is!
May He bless you and your family this week!

It really is a learning process, isn't it, to pause, see, and name the gifts back to God. I like how Ann calls it "changing from a default of discontent to doxology."

Thank you. To hear you expound on how amazing, great and good He is from the road you have walked blesses me. Thank you. That grows my faith.

Such is life, huh, Jennifer? Pain amid the pleasure... Thanks for sharing the context of the verse in Lamentations. Amazing. I pray I will always be able to speak such faithful words.

Love the post Jen. It's been remembering the blessings and goodness from God amongst the pain that has kept
us close to God. I love the spring analogy.

I got time to go back for missed post, those when I wasn't stalking you yet. Ha ha ha.

I have fallen in love with the way you romance with God's word and reflect it in life.

Thank you for this one, Jen. Although it was written way back, it is as fresh as the spring you are picturing to us.

The analogy of springtime fun versus the woes it carries is at balance before God. We rejoice at anything and everything.

What words of reminder to reflect upon.

His compassion I am benefited at all times.

I thank and praise God for you.
