We sang this great hymn this past Sunday at church. For the past couple of years whenever I hear this song or we sing at church I can not contain myself and the tears start rolling. Why you might ask? I believe this hymn has been for lack of better words is our family's (Eric, Heidi and Grace and before Grace, Eric & Heidi) motto. God has been so faithful to our family the past 6 1/2 years even when we chose not to see His faithfulness. He was and is and will be FAITHFUL! I see His faithfulness in miracles we witnessed, in brokeness, in challenges, in spiritual growth, in break-through, in God ordained friendships, in adoption, in our personal passions, in our daily needs, in our extended family, in our prayer life and the list goes on....I am sure you were wanting an update on Grace or a picture, I will post one soon. This blog has served not only to brag on God's goodness and faithfulness to us through adoption but has some how served to be therapeutic for me. Thanks for listening!
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou for ever will be
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
Great is thy faithfulness
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
Great is thy faithfulness
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

Love this post, and once again have found something that knits us together even more. Great Is Thy Faithfulness has also been considered one of our "family songs" as well. We (along with the congregation) sang it at our wedding nearly 11 years ago, and it continues to be an anthem for our lives. Proclaiming God's faithfulness and thanking Him for it with you!
It fills me with joy when I'm reminded of God's faithfulness!...even when I'm not so faithful or when I question his plans and timing for my life He is still there...wating on me to look up to Him...to trust!
