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. 11, 2008~ Being Thankful ~
Well, I sat down a few times today to write out my thankful list. I have so much on my heart to thank the Lord for, I don't want to miss the chance to do it publicly. Anyway, a full life is on the top!
Lord, I thank you for my full life and the desire to live it for your glory.
Lord, I thank you for the clothes I found this week for the kids at resale shops. I pray we find just what we need and that I do not go over board as I am known to do when it comes to deals.
Lord, I thank you for Elizabeth George and for her writings. I have been so inspired by her. (Just finished Life Management for Busy Women)
I thoroughly have enjoyed every Elizabeth George book I have read. She really writes in a manner that I read well. Plus, I am always encouraged but most of all motivated to spend more time in the Word of God and prayer.

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.
