Reminders

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. "
-- Isaiah 40 : 28

"Guidance, like all God's acts of blessing under the covenant of grace, is a sovereign act. Not merely does God will to guide us in the sense of showing us his way, that we may tread it; he wills also to guide us in the more fundamental sense of ensuring that, whatever happens, whatever mistakes we may make, we shall come safely home. Slippings and strayings there will be, no doubt, but the everlasting arms are beneath us; we shall be caught, rescued, restored. This is God's promise; this is how good he is."

-- J.I. Packer (Knowing God)

 

 

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

-- 2 Corinthians 9:8

 

 

"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see."
-- Corrie ten Boom

Surprise Flowers on a Cloudy Day

The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.  ~William Wordsworth

Today a very good man sent me some very beautiful flowers.  I wasn't feeling well, and it's been a weird week, and his thoughtful kindness surprised me -- and I didn't want it to go unrecognized.  He brought the sunshine into my day :)
