Thankful Thursday #3

Today I am so thankful for the “NOT PICTURE PERFECT AND MESSY” moments.

It’s too easy to get caught up in what the world mandates….pretty light-filled pictures and perfectly manicured moments.

So, I’m sharing just a regular picture on a cloudy day where we made beautiful messy memories!

This was from Mother’s Day when we were at the beach and the girls were busy digging a hole and tunnel hopefully (their precious words, not mine.).

It was beautiful, messy, not-picture-perfect, and the kind of moments I wish I could capture in a bottle and hang onto forever!

Be thankful for the REAL, not photo edited (no filter here), sometimes messy journey that is YOUR life.

After all, when we look back, it’s the messy moments that are usually the most precious and easier to grasp in our minds. Then we realize that those are the moments that make up this beautiful IRREPLACEABLE once in a lifetime gift called LIFE!

SCRIPTURES FOR THE DAY

It's all a part of the journey and COLOSSIANS 3:14 reminds us,

"And above all these put on love, which binds

everything together IN PERFECT HARMONY."

ECCLESIASTES 3:12 reminds us to just enjoy the moments so that we aren't so caught up in the "just right" version of life, "I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to BE JOYFUL and to do good as long as they live;"

Be thankful for these messy moments! It all comes together in the end in perfect harmony!
