Proverbs 14:4 "Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox."
I have always liked this verse as it reminds me that I will not have a perfectly clean house, or lack in good work to do each day because the LORD has filled our home with children.
Sooo...
I am grateful to the LORD that my "manger" is not empty ...
and grateful for the abundant crops that I have now....
and for the strength to daily labor in love for them and for HIM!
Great Thankful Thursday :)
