25 Days of Praise: Day 7


Today I am thankful for:

Forgiveness of my sin.

“Iniquities prevail against me…” Psalm 65:3

“There is no soundness in my flesh
because of Your indignation;
there is no health in my bones
because of my sin.” Psalm 38:3

“For my iniquities are gone over my head;
as a heavy burden they weigh
too much for me.” Psalm 38:43

“If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?” Psalm 130:3

“I have wiped out your transgressions
Like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist.
Return to Me for I have redeemed you.” Isaiah 44:22

“…though your sins are as scarlet,
they will be as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
they will be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous
to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9

Precious One

I enjoyed tucking my daughter in tonight, we talked and even giggled when I broke out spontaneously in a ridiculous rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. “Mom, rub my face like you used to” she requested. She shut her eyes as my fingers danced lightly around her face, something she used to like when she was a little girl. She drifted off to sleep and my thoughts drifted to praying for her. “Father, keep her from evil and keep evil from her… "She is Yours, help her to know that and live it and find satisfaction in nothing and no one else…." I was struck by the truth that her life and soul mean infinitely more to me than anything this life can offer. As I prayed, God re-ordered some things in my life and refocused my heart. I have been anxious to repaint my living room a fresh new color. Yet compared to the vital task of raising this young woman, building a God-world view in her life, my living room and so many other desires took a back seat and seemed so unimportan...

Announcing Another Litle Girl

What a new newborn does to a person! I’m in love. *sigh* Papa and I were able to spend almost a week with this new sweet-one when she was newborn.   Introducing Little Miss Alaya Jane . Isn’t. she. just. adorable? She’s my little Peanut. We’ve had 3 new granddaughters in the past 10 months – which makes a total of 5 little girls in 2 ½ years, and we are loving it! You can catch up on the first 4, Sweet Pea, Chickadee, Honey Bee, and Squirt, in the archives. (I'm having difficulty with linking to certain posts at the moment.) Oh, how the grace of God is so faithful! We have been reflecting on how proud we are of how our kids have grown to be adults who love God and married spouses who follow Him too. To see them start families and train their little ones to live to “make Jesus happy” – to put it in toddler terms. This leaves this Papa and Mama so happy… and humble. We weren’t perfect parents. We tried to be good parents, but often fell short. We are so thankf...
