Contentment
May 26, 2010
Complaining has sadly made it's way in our home so...we've been endeavoring to use our gift of speech for God's glory! I read the below from a dear, wise saint from the 1800's... and thought it blog worthy :).
"If we wish to gain contentment, we might try such rules as these:
1. Allow yourself to complain of nothing, not even of the weather.
2. Never picture yourself to yourself under any circumstances in which you are not.
3. Never compare your own lot with that of another.
4. Never allow yourself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise than it was, or is. God Almighty loves you better and more wisely than you do yourself.
5. Never dwell on the morrow. Remember that it is God's, not yours."
Edward. Pusey 1800-1882
A desire~
“A man’s physical hunger does not prove that man will get any bread: he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man’s hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist.” In other words, “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world." CS Lewis
Strawberries!
May 10, 2010
I had a wonderful Mother's Day :). A delicious lunch with Bill, Taylor and Miri... a wonderful phone call from Jon... a trip to Patterson Farm for my first ever strawberry picking experience then a movie -relaxing at home. Thank you Lord for a wonderful day!
Here are a few pics from the farm!
Go to Him!
"Come unto Me." Matthew 11:28
Jesus calls you to His throne of grace. He is there waiting to hear, relieve and bless you. You are to go to Him just as you are--and receive from Him all you need.
He will give you:
wisdom--to direct your steps;
peace--to keep your hearts;
strength--to do His will;
righteousness--to justify your souls;
and rest--unspeakably sweet.
James Smith
Celebrations!
May 3, 2010
We've had a busy few weeks! We welcomed Darrell Pugh home, celebrated Gotcha Day, had my student recital and went to Georgia to celebrate my brother's wedding. Sadly I forgot to take 1 picture at my recital and my camera died during the wedding- sigh. Here are a few shots from our busy few weeks :)
