Good Gifts

Summer 2012
Christian Reformed Conference Grounds

 

I am so, so thankful for these 5 beautiful, precious, amazing blessings from God.  I have been so convicted the past several days on how good God has been to our family. We have 5 healthy boys.  They can walk on their own, think for themselves, express all sorts of emotions.  Each one of them so incredibly unique in the way they were knit together.  God is a giver of such good things.

 

Lord, you chose me to be a Mom to these 5 boys, to keep for a little while on earth. Help me Lord each day to recognize the impact I make upon their lives for eternity. Help me to watch my words, to extend grace, to have patience, to show JOY. I love these not so little guys so very much!!!

JOY

Sometimes laughter is the BEST medicine!!
Sitting on the swing with the love of
my life at the Conference Grounds.
So, so thankful for this time....



Saucepan And Spoons

Today I went to my favorite second hand store in search of a saucepan and spoons. We never have enough clean spoons in the drawer-ever!! Plus, I need a new saucepan for our trailer as I noticed the last time we went camping the teflon is flaking off. I really don't want any extra 'flavoring' in my spaghetti sauce!! I didn't find either of the things that were on my list, but I did find something that God had sitting on a shelf just for me!

If you know anything about me at all, you know I have a little addiction to music. =) Okay....honestly if I were stranded on an island and could have one thing in addition to water, a Bible and an endless supply of batteries, I would pick music. So, you know I can't leave Revive without quickly checking out the CD's. I found this CD by 33 Miles. I was looking at the song titles on the back and the last one is titled Worth The Wait.  I wanted to take out the jacket to read the words. Of course the jacket was somehow all stuck together and I couldn't get it pulled apart without wrecking the paper.

So I bought it, not having any clue what the song said...but with no doubt God was clearly letting me know I needed to hear it. I took it home, popped it in my kitchen radio and played track #10. 

THIS is what I heard....

Impossible vs. Possible

Impossible:

incapable of occuring; having little likelihood of happening

VS.

Possible:

capable of exisiting or of being done

He {Jesus} replied, "Because you have so little faith.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a

mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from

here to there' and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you."

~Matthew 17:20~

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with

God all things are possible."

~Matthew 19:26~

Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

~Luke 18:27~

Everything is possible for him who believes.

~Mark 9:23~
