Because God is so good

I will blog twice in one day today.

Psalm 126: 5-6
Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.

He's a totally different species now. I don't even recognize him.

I come home and he hugs me, like it's the first time he's seen me in years.

Without me asking, he checks the oil in my car, brake lights, makes sure my drive is safe.

He sits with me, listens to my Jesus music, just to be present.

I tell him, watch this movie about a man who has overcome. He doesn't just watch it, he lives it, dreams it and asks for the link to it. Says, "I'm so inspired now. If he can overcome, so can I."

She says, "He helps me in the kitchen now, listens to me, goes to church and washes the chalices after mass."

Each day I stand silenced, in awe of the amazing transformation I witness. It's a renewed phenomenon each day.

Our relationship is so different I don't even remember the past. The scars are so far removed.

He's so beautiful to me. My earthly father.

I never thought I could love him after all we had been through. I had given up on us. Just another dysfunctional father-daughter relationship.

But those who sow in tears will reap in joy. Leave with seeds and come back with sheaves.

Each day I experience a miracle so big and so glorious I fall to my knees in gratitude and in reverence of the God we serve.

Thank You is not sufficient so I sit in silent devotion to You my heavenly Father, my Love, my God.
