Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Have yet to see these abstract concepts become the realest thing I know upon waking up on any given morning.

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."
