Kitchen Squeezes

 Stephanie here...

I woke up this morning craving a cup of tea and some worship music. I was met with a pink sun kissed sky beckoning me to a new day. I poured out my heart to Jesus and He met me with love and invitation welcoming me into whatever this new day will hold. Below is one of the songs I so enjoyed this morning...

God I look to You
I won't be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You
You're where my help comes from
Give me wisdom, You know just what to do

I will love You Lord my strength
I will love you Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock
Forever all my days, I will love you God

Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Forever all my days Hallelujah

Many people who know me are aware that I am NOT a morning person. The evening times tend to be my favorite. Lately, the evening goodbyes with Poppy have been some of the most memorable. We have this tradition I like to call kitchen squeezes. Growing up, if I was in the kitchen washing dishes or loading the dishwasher Poppy would come up behind me and give me a squeeze. Those squeezes always made me feel warm and protected. As an adult I have still received those squeezes though they are rarely in the kitchen. These days they happen every night when I am heading home. He gives me that tight, long kitchen squeeze. Savoring those squeezes.
