Miracles

We've had lots of changes happening in our lives lately. Like big changes. Life-changing changes. And now we are embarking a new one. It's all been very overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like I have a handle on it, and other times, not so much.My sweet and amazing sister-in-law made this jar for us yesterday.


The tag tied to it says "forecasting miracles every single day" and "ready to dance in the rain"
Then one of my favorite quotes: "Do not pray for tasks equal to your abilites, pray for abilites equal to your tasks".

Next to this jar, we now have a big ol' box of pennies. Throughout the day, when miracles happen, we put a penny in the jar. In less than 24 hours, we have put 19 pennies in the jar. When we take the time to look for and notice the miracles in our lives every day, I think we realize how many there really are.

What a sweet idea. I agree, we get too caught up in the everyday things to notice the tender mercies.
I think it says a lot about someone when they take the time to really notice those miracles that happen everyday. You guys are so great. Thanks for setting such a good example.
