communicating without shame

little blessings

found a cute pair of brown, size 11 dr scholls winter booties for 60% off. i've learned, after years of shoe shopping misery, if it actually fits, buy it.....

got 4 pairs of nice thick cottony socks for $6 in the clearance rack. i'm having a hard time finding matching socks these days, lol.

went blonde, and surprisingly, it looks pretty good on me! have had annie lennox's voice floating through my head the last 3 days tho. the bleach solution must have tuned me in to an oldies station.....

went swimming for the first time in years. swimming with kidlets is a blast. and my hair didn't turn green!

i have friends who love me! :)

am thankful that when the joys of life are wearing thin, i have something even better to look forward to...

The Thorn

I stood a mendicant of God before His royal throne
And begged Him for a priceless gift, which I could call my own.
I took the gift from out His hand, but as I would depart
I cried, “But Lord, this is a thorn and it has pierced my heart.
This is a strange, a hurtful gift that Thou hast given me.
He said, “My child, I give good gifts and give my best to thee.”
I took it home and though at first the cruel thorn hurt sore;
As long years passed I learned at last to love it more and more.
I learned He never gives a thorn without this added Grace.
He takes the thorn to pin aside the veil which hides His face.

“The Thorn”-- Martha Snell Nicholson

Treasure Christ above all

despairing of our abilities

“It is certain the man must utterly despair of his own ability before he is prepared to receive the grace of Christ.” --Martin Luther

too easily pleased

heartcry

this song captures something of the longing of my heart to see Him.... *sighs*



it could also illustrate a sense (in a small imperfect way of course) of His heart as He waits for us to enter into prayer and communion with Him....
