Blessings in Pictures

by | Apr 22, 2012 | This Lefe Family

I just looked through the pictures I’ve taken of our family this week…and with tear-filled eyes and a very thankful heart, I can only say…

God has blessed me!

I have a wonderful family.

I have amazing friends.

I live in a place where everywhere I look is God’s beauty before me.

I have healthy kids who can play soccer, who can be the soccer team manager, who are good-hearted kids, and who love God.

I have a husband who loves me…unconditionally…even when I don’t deserve it.

I am healthy…my heart issues have passed, my ovarian cysts are gone (or at least not bothersome), I haven’t dealt with a migraine recently, my foot issues currently are managable, and I can exercise.

I have such a rewarding job and I get the privilege of breathing hope into people’s lives.

I sometimes want to ask God, “Why me? Why, with all my faults and flaws, do I get to be so blessed?” But I have learned to just be thankful…and I am. It’s good to pause and see just how very blessed each one of us is…especially today.

Enjoy some of the events of our life caught on my camera this week!

 A beautiful sunset on Monday evening from our bedroom window
A breathtaking sunrise Tuesday morning from our kitchen window
 Ali “managing” the soccer team Tuesday afternoon during half-time
Zach battling against a Waterloo East player in Tuesday afternoon’s game
 Zach playing against Linn Mar Saturday morning
 Zach handling the ball during the second game on Saturday at home against Dubuque Hempstead
 These games sometimes get pretty physical…Zach is #2.
Zach wins the ball!
 Great foot skills (if I do say so myself)!
 Zach scored the only goal during this game (not this picture, however)
 Zach waiting for ball to drop
I love this pic…taking the ball downfield.

Our beautiful niece, Regan in her dance recital Saturday evening
 Two darling cousins, Reagan & Ali
 All of us with Reagan
Reagan is so special to me!
I hope you have the opportunity to pause today and realize the many blessings in your life as well!

Being where your feet are doesn't have to be quiet or serious.

Sometimes, it's clanging spatulas, giggling grandsons, and worship music on full blast.

This is abundance.
This is presence.
This is joy in the now.

Let’s not miss the sacred in the silly.

Listen to episode 206 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast for more.

You’re not behind.
You’re not late.
You’re not too much or not enough.
You’re here.

And here is sacred ground when God walks with you.
Stay present, friend.
There’s peace in the now. ✈️💛

Ever find yourself mentally time-traveling to the past, future, and everywhere but the present? 🙋‍♀️ Same. But the peace we're chasing? It’s only found right here, right now—with God.

Today, let’s choose to be fully where our feet are. 💛

Peace hits different when it’s rooted in surrender.
It’s not about everything being “figured out”—
It’s about knowing the One who holds it all.

You’re not who you were.
You’re walking (or driving 😉) in freedom.
And girl, it looks good on you.

Can't seem to move ahead?
Head swimming with too much to do?
Feel like you're just going through the motions in life?

You may be distracted. 🥴

Don't let these, what I call The Big Five distractions, overtake you attention today.

➡️Which distraction plagues you the most?

Find more in my book, Right Now Matters, to overcome distraction and live your abundant life!

It happens to the best of us, especially us women. Our thoughts can not only distract us, but they can derail us. 🥴

But we don't have to let them.

Say this prayer the next time your thoughts distract you. There's nothing like inviting God in!

Are you where your feet are today? Could you use a little help in staying present?

We continue on in our Summer of Abundance series on the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast today, and in episode 206, which dropped earlier this morning, we explore the fifth element of abundant life: Purposeful Presence. You might guess it's a subject I'm passionate about. 

This episode is for you if you're tired of life passing you by and if you're ready to live more in the moment. In this snippet, I share Purposeful Presence in three categories, which is a great place to begin. Find the full 23-minute episode wherever you listen to podcasts or @julielefebure.

No matter what last week looked like… this one holds new beauty, new purpose, and new grace.

So water what matters.
Tend to your heart.
And trust that God is growing something good—even if you can’t see it yet. 🌸
