Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 118 “His steadfast love endures forever.”

Over the Easter break I decided it would be fun to remodel the back bedroom which has looked a bit sad and stuck in the eighties, since we moved in.  I made my first enthusiastic trip to the DIY store to select a fabulous new feature wallpaper and the first of many paint tester pots with glee! As we pulled out the old fitted units, we discovered hidden problems which added to the workload and then the schedule got squeezed as the new bed was due to arrive several days earlier than anticipated.  Mark and I are both pretty good at decorating, but certain tasks are beyond me and there were several nights when Mark worked until nearly midnight to keep us on track.  The room is nearly finished now and looks amazing, only a few small jobs left to do!

The wellbeing card which accompanies this week’s meditation verse encourages us to write a list of things we are thankful for today, much like morning prayer where we read “Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His benefits,” then we begin to list the benefits, blessings, and gifts He has given today.  I am so thankful for a loving and supportive husband, both at home and in my Renew ministry and I am eternally thankful for God’s steadfast love, bless you this week in all you can give thanks for.
