The way to Heaven is ascending;
we must be content to travel uphill,
though it be hard and tiresome,
and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
Jonathan Edwards

Sep. 20, 2008~ Thankfulness ~
Lord, thank you for not giving up on me despite my fickle heart. I am so easily distracted from pursuing you. Please forgive me.
Lord, thank you for music that feeds my soul. I love singing to you!
Lord, thank you for the change of seasons. I am looking forward to fall's glorious colors.
Lord, thank you for giving me the courage to tell someone I love that she is wrong for telling me things about her husband that she should only tell you. I am sorry it took me so long.
Lord, thank you for the whole of creation and its beauty.
Lord, thank you that you are incomprehensible.
Lord, thank you for the Sunday Schoolers we are getting to know. Help us to show your love to them. Help me to not grow weary in doing good.
Leviticus 20:26 says, "You must be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own." This blog is my place to remember this journey I am on and God's goodness to me. I am glad you are here. Welcome.
