Mercies in Disguise

I have been hearing this song lately and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

Blessings

Artist: Laura Story

Album: Blessings

We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom

Your voice to hear

We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near

We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love

As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

All the while, You hear each desperate plea

As long as we have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

What if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise

And this is the story behind this song......

Isn't voice just so beautiful and danity? What great talent she has been blessed with!

Come to find out Jace's tummy issues over the weekend was not a side effect of his ear infection. He did indeed have a bug. I woke up this morning and felt a little nauseous. I put it off as thinking it was because I didn't eat my breakfast soon enough after my vitamins because that has made me sick before. But once I got to work and still felt yucky I started to think maybe it WAS a bug.

Well a while after telling JB that I felt bad he came back and told me that Kristen said all 3 of her boys were having tummy troubles last night! I feel SO bad about that. I wish I had known Jace actually had a bug. She does not deserve to have to deal with that right now in all the trials she is facing of her own. What a blessing it is that she doesn't get fed up and forbid Jace from being around her little ones. Jace LOVES to share.....especially his germs and with Lincoln and Grant. This time he shared it with the newest, Conley, too. I hope he continues to share as he gets older - we just need to learn to be a bit pickier in what he shares!
