Love 9/100

Today I'm thankful for...

Today L has been in a very silly mood.

She has been laughing so hard

and being noisy and silly all night long.

I'm grateful for her silliness.

It makes us laugh so hard,

and it reminds me that the world

is a great place to be.

The Word...

Romans 8:35-39

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any creature, shall be able to separate us for the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Nothing can take away or separate us from the love of Christ.  He gave everything for us. He loves us especially in our imperfectness. He knows how we can grow from the imperfectness.  He knows how we can grow from trials and challenges.  He walks with us daily. He is there carrying us, cheering us on, and celebrating with us when we finally succeed!

On my heart...

Today I have been quite busy, 

but in the busyness I've been

doing a lot of pondering.

I've been reading 

The Christ-Centered Home

by Emily Belle Freeman this week.

It has been amazing to learn from 

and to see things I've never thought 

of before.  I'm excited to start studying

it with Burk next week.

I've been realizing that there is 

so much more we can do to make

our home a place of refuge and 

a place to learn about and remember

the Savior everyday.

I have been feeling like if we

can start doing some of these

things now, when L is older

we'll have already been doing things

to help build her armor and

to help her resist temptation 

and be a righteous daughter of God.

I want that for her.

I know that it will be great for

Burk and I as well as we invite

the Savior to be the center

of  our home and our lives.

We will learn and grow and 

become stronger.

I've also been thinking about the goals

I set for myself for this month.

How many of them did I accomplish?

I'm going to dig in to my Powersheets

tomorrow and let you know then:0)

It's funny how life changes and

all of the sudden things start

working out without any help from me.

God is good!  He loves me unconditionally!
