Spring Break: 1000 Gifts

Spring Break has come and gone. Time flies. We are going on 6 months here in the state of the "big sky". Before we left, Michael's aunt gave us a plaque with Jeremiah 29:11 inscribed on it. It reads, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." This verse has been quoted so much, we often forget to ponder its meaning. God has indeed ordered our steps. We have feared for our future, feared for our children, feared. But, God has proved faithful. As Ann beautifully states, "God always sees to 'it'." Whatever "it"might be. Romans 8:32 states, "If He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

And given He has. He provides all our needs for His glory. And this week, I am especially grateful for providing us with a week full of fun. For blessing our children with good things. So...my gratitude list continues.....

Jesus, for dying on the cross even while I was so lost. For pursuing me in my sin. Lord, may I somehow in my sin, impart this wonderful Gospel to those precious little ones you have trusted to my care.
