Oy.

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matt 5:47,48

chances to thank Him this monday morning

I was made to praise You
I was made to glorify Your Name
In every circumstance to find a chance to thank You

I was made to love You
I was made to worship at Your Feet
And to obey You Lord, I was made for You

Feeling nostalgic while preparing to read Matilda for tomorrow's class...

Wishing Fondren had a children's books section with age-appropriate armchairs and curtained window nooks right about now.
Someday when I have my own house, I'll be sure to have Matilda, Frederick, Frog & Toad, The Little House, The Secret Birthday Surprise, Wayside School, The Stinky Cheese Man, and all their friends around. :-)

Back to front vowels and t- and d- sounds...

"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."

1 Corinthians 2:2

He gives me no choice

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
Psalm 73:25

You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me...
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

Psalm 139:5,7-12

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:68
