Rubber Boots & Wildflowers

I
Some days, our minds are heavy, and our thoughts are scattered. I woke up feeling this way. Then I read Psalm 145:8 on my phone, sent to me by my friend, Julie.
The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to get angry, full of unfailing love.

He talks to us so personally; it is hard to deny that it isn’t him. He knows us so intimately and understands us completely. Psalm 147:5 says
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension.

I love my green rubber boots with wildflowers printed on them. I wear them all over our pasture. So, when this picture came to me today, I looked at it and thought, my boots are caked with mud, but the boots in this picture are white as snow. My boots are worn but the boots in this picture are overflowing with beautiful flowers. It occurred to me how he sees us.
If only we will lift our minds off of ourselves and focus on him, he will help us when we are troubled. Julie explained it so well when she said, “Do we know we are perfectly loved?”
If we are thankful for his love for us, praise him and thank him for such a wonderful gift.

Thank you, Father
