Abundance.

recently hung from my kitchen window

Yesterday Cherice taught her six-year-old, Espen,

what "abundance" means.

He had heard it in a song at camp and came home asking.

I asked her what she taught him.

"I said,

abundance is when something is gratefully so much more than what we need or asked for,

and we can't even believe it."

I love that.

Cherice and I picking green beans tonight

...we celebrate Your abundant goodness

and joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings,

so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort, too.

"I have come that they might have life,

and have it abundantly."
