“A nobel heart is a thankful heart that loves to acknowledge whenever it has received any mercy.”
—Jeremiah Burroughs (Puritan preacher, England, 1600-1646).
Acknowledging any mercy—love that idea. And it makes me want to be watchful for the God’s tender mercies, to see his loving merciful care each day.
“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” —Psalm 23:6
The Thankful Heart 
Mercy. What a beautiful word!!
It’s true Daisy– and God’s mercy is so beyond our understanding of the word. It is beautiful. xo
