God's gifts...
The amaryllis above was a gift from my Grandma, and it's beauty daily reminds us of her love. My LIFE is a gift from God, and I want it's beauty and purity to constantly remind everyone who sees me of God's perfect love. As I strive to follow Jesus, even in hard times, He perfects me, makes my life a masterpiece for His collection. When I make mistakes, He incorporates them into the picture and then moves on. It doesn't help me to dwell in the past. I must look to God, and live victoriously in Him.
The Lord has blessed me greatly this year. This time in Minnesota is so special. Instead of saying 'only six months until we move' I say 'Thank you Lord for this amazing gift!' I've never felt God's presence more than right now. He gives us every good and perfect gift and He LOVES us! Even though we are sinners and continually fall, He picks us up and sets us back on His path. Thank you Lord!
