Thank you, Lord...

[Mitch Rapp]

For the life I live. We have our troubles, but You give us peace, too.
Pawpaw and I are front porch sittin after church enjoying the view. There's a boy and a dog running around the farm while my wife, daughter, and mother in law fix Sunday lunch.

The evidence of Gods paintbrush is everywhere.

 

[Grits]

Yes. I love it when He gets in the fingerpaints and uses the sky as his canvas.

I was about to post a nice song from the early seventies in Off-topic when I came across your thread here. The song and video I will post mirrors the sentiments of your thread here.

 

[Bailey Boat]

It's always been there you just never took the time to see it....

God is the Father of us all.
I give thanks to God everyday.

 

[rdinatal]

Enjoy it. While everyone has some great gift, not all have the same view. Each one is unique in the universe.

Ok, that's as deep as I'm going to get...

 

[Mitch Rapp]

I sat in the same spot yesterday.
I enjoyed the same view.
I felt the same peace.
This poor sinner does not deserve the blessings the Lord gives me.

 

[MacEntyre]

Amen, Draco!

 

[kcult]

Yeah. Blessings abound. If not, then it's lessons.

Whatever fits.

 

[skiles]

I get more frustrated when I get frustrated because I'm so blessed I have no business being frustrated. If that makes sense.

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Just a nice afternoon enjoying Gods Grace.

His beautiful creations




The gifts he's given me




The sounds of a kid laughing



And a loyal companion








I am beyond blessed to have the life I do

 

[MacEntyre]

Catawba River?

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Catawba River?

Broad River, south of Boiling Springs a couple miles ftom the SC line

 

[MacEntyre]

Oh, yeah... Catawba is deep on account of dams, down yer way.

I too am blessed by making your aquaintance recently. Hoping to see you again soon.

Thank you @draco88 -- I really am enjoying this thread!

Walking to work this morning, God took a moment to remind me of something. Even though my current circumstance isn't perfect, he is still here with me and gave me a moment of peace.

There’s not enough bandwidth to post up all my blessings....

In that first pic, the purty little blonde between my FIL and my son Jamey (the one who lost his right leg a few years ago) is carrying our next grandson!! Karson and Jaxson are gonna be big brothers!!

I am truly blessed beyond measure, and I deserve none of it....

@kcult sometimes lessons can turn into blessings. Shari and I still pray for y’all (and some other friends in a similar place) a couple times a year.

God is so amazing in so many ways...

Something amazing happened to me the other day...I copied my Facebook post.


Soooo.....I normally don’t let my right hand tell my left hand what I did, but this is TOOOO good to not share.....let me tell you about MY AWESOME GOD!!!![emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316]

So I stop into a Subway here in greater metro Kingwood, WV to get me dinner grub on the way to the hotel. I’m standing at the counter and here’s the conversation between me, Subway girl, and the guy behind me:

Girl: Since you’re both getting 6” meatball subs, do you mind if I make them together?

Me: fine with me, but he’s a total stranger! [emoji1]

Guy: yeah, and he’s (me) buying! [emoji1]

So I get to the register....
Me: I’ll pay for his. Footlong is cheaper anyway.

Girl: Really??[emoji15]

Me: Yes, really.

Guy: You don’t have to do that...

Me: No problem, brother....God is good ALL the time!![emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316]

Guy: (quiet for 5-10 seconds) Wow, man....I really appreciate that! You’ve no idea the crap I’ve been through over the last week...this is such a blessing!! Thank you!!

Me: The praise goes to the Lord, bro!!

Girl: [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] wow!!

Now, it was maybe 6 bucks for his meal, but from his reaction and Subway Girl’s reaction, MY GOD WAS THERE HANDING OUT BLESSINGS BY THE TRUCKLOAD!!![emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

I don’t know who was blessed more: the guy, Subway Girl, or me, but I’m telling you what... My God shows up BIG!!!! [emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316]

There’s no telling what impact that had. Oh, and by the way....I wouldn’t have been in that location normally. There’s one much closer to the hotel, but I had to go to Wal Mart.....

Whooooooo.......and after a rough few days, and a rough day on the job.....
I’ll keep on walking with a limp, limp, limp.....

I buy meals for strangers quite often, and sometimes don’t even tell Shari about it, but this one was just emotionally overwhelming to me, so I figured someone somewhere needed to hear about it

We are all going to have more such opportunities in the coming weeks. May we welcome the opportunity to be salt and light in the world.

Time to revive this thread again. Visited with PawPaw this afternoon a bit, and God dusted the mountain for us.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing me these simple pleasures!

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Had a pretty day today, so my trusty sidekick and I went walkabout for a bit.
Thank you, Lord, for making these beautiful little pockets of serenity in a hectic world. I love the pictures you paint 🙏🎨

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Been a while since I posted in this thread, but little man and I are camping in front of the shop at PawPaws while we smoke a brisket for tomorrows festivities.
We got to see the Casar town firework show and we've been sitting around talking ever since.

South Mountain just before dusk


Our little campsite


Once again, Thank you, Lord, its the little things you give me in this life 🥰

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Thank you, Lord, that you gave me a teenager who doesnt hate me and actually likes to do things with me.

Brake job



Replacing the ignitor in the oven for momma



Cooking with me




My heart and soul 🥰

 

[Walkabout Dan]

Amen !

 

[Grits]

You sir, are raising up a leader of men in his generation. By the looks of it, you have done a very good job. God bless you and yours.

That’s a great example of what it once was for most generations until the 90s. Creating a future family man.

Thank you for sharing. Heartwarming is an understatement.

A beautiful night out at the ballgame with my pardner.
Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings you give me

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Mixed up a new batch of my pork rub and now kiddo is trying to mad scientist his own rub.
Weve made fun of each other, a hideous concoction, one that might be ok, and an absolute mess...but I wouldnt change a thing 😍

And, when are we invited down to do a taste test between the two?

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Alex and Sis come up to me last night and Alex says "Dad, if Sis and I cut up the potatoes, will you make ypur potato soup?"
Me being me, I pick at them a bit. "Ah, man, really? A bit short notice, isnt it?"
Sis pipes up, "Well, this is really more of a heads up than a request" as she tips me a wink and drags her brother off to the kitchen 😍
Yet again, thank you, Lord, for my blessings...

Alright, I gotta ask.

What in the heck fits in that skinny cabinet?

 

[Get Off My Lawn]

Alright, I gotta ask.

What in the heck fits in that skinny cabinet?

Ours holds cutting boards, cookie sheets , pizza pan, etc
