Hunting for God's Grace, Steadfast Love, and Mercies that are New Every Morning in November {&Five Minute Friday}

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

his mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in him.”

(Lamentations 3:22-24, ESV)

For the month of November I will be hunting.

Hunting for God's grace, steadfast love and His mercies that are new every morning.

So after writing for 31 Days in October I thought I would take a break, but apparently I'll just go hunting for more of God's amazing grace.

It was a 'Windsday' here today and the blustery day has left very few leaves on the trees. The days are getting shorter and colder. The dismal greys and browns have spilled all over the canvas outside and the bright reds and golds of October have faded away.

I feel worn and tired but instead of burrowing deep into the melancholy of the month, I aim to keep hunting for the grace of God in my life. The Gentle Shepherd and His unfailing love hunts us down, his  steadfast love follows us all the days of our lives.

Join me here for the mercies of God that new every morning for the month of November and give thanks?

The more we hunt the more we will find! Perhaps we will have to call it 'Morevember' or 'Newvember'?

Some days I will use Ann Voskamp's 'Gifts list', some days I may just post a photo or a verse, and some days may be entirely something new as I hunt for God's daily gifts in my life as He pours out His steadfast love and new mercies every day.

Fighting the melancholy with foraging for more of His mercies that never come to an end.

{Edited to add: 3 gifts 'eaten' ~ 3 simple and nourishing meals made at home and served around our family table with lots of commotion, conversation and laughter; fresh ground coffee while playing checkers with my son at a community cafe; a late night treat}
