Making mention of His lovingkindnesses -Is.63:7

This week has been pretty rough due to an illness that hit both of my girls. They came down with high fevers, but thankfully, the fevers eventually subsided with rest and some medication. I praise the Lord for His healing and mercy toward our bodies. As all of this has been happening, it has made me even more excited about my future resurrected body. God has promised His children that this corruptible body will one day be transformed into an incorruptible and immortal one (1 Cor. 15:52–54). That promise encourages me in so many ways.

I know it will be good to look back on these reminders, especially during times when life feels unfair or burdensome. Praise the Lord! My cup runneth over. -Psalm 23:5c
