Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Joyful Journal - September 6, 2008

Hosted by Danielle at My Name is Danielle

A memorable moment… Being able to talk with my husband, honestly about the future, what it holds for us, and the reasons we are at this point in our lives.



I am grateful… For forgiveness. To know that I have forgiveness from God - which is what counts! To know that His mercy and His love carry me always.



I laugh… When I watch Elizabeth's daycare kids playing. Since I'm not working right now, I am able to be there during the day with Elizabeth and she has the best kids in her daycare. They are all age three and under and they are such a blessing.



I remember… A time in my life filled with great expectation and excitement as my husband and I married and brought our families together. Never did I anticipate the events to come!



I love… God and want to be the best me I can be for Him!



I will celebrate… Life! I believe each day is a gift from God and should be used for good in service to Him!

    Hi there!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and participating in the Joyful Journal!!! I enjoyed reading your post, it is always uplifting to look at the small blessings in our lives - as I just recently heard someone say 'it's the ordinariness of every day that makes a life'. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
