QUOTE OF THE WEEK

[t]he Spirit of God shows to us hidden things, the knowledge of which cannot reach our senses: Promised to us is eternal life, but it is promised to the dead; we are assured of a happy resurrection, but we are as yet involved in corruption; we are pronounced just, as yet sin dwells in us; we hear that we are happy, but we are as yet in the midst of many miseries; an abundance of all good things is promised to us, but still we often hunger and thirst; God proclaims that he will come quickly, but he seems deaf when we cry to him. What would become of us were we not supported by hope, and did not our minds emerge out of the midst of darkness above the world through the light of God’s word and of his Spirit? Faith, then, is rightly said to be the subsistence or substance of things which are as yet the objects of hope and the evidence of things not seen.John Calvin, Calvin's Commentaries, Hebrews 11

Giving Thanks in November

DateWednesday, November 25, 2009 at 05:04PM

I'm happy that my cooking is done for the day and I can relax now.  We're opening a jar of store bought spaghetti sauce for dinner tonight--maybe we'll even eat our spaghetti on paper plates!

I'm thankful for the energy to work all day, for the row of freshly baked pies, for the refrigerator full of casseroles waiting to be popped into the oven tomorrow, for the plenteous feast that we will share--all through God's gracious provision for us!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Elliott sitting in his high chair enjoying his first real Thanksgiving dinner!  Next year, he'll be in a booster seat and his 9 month old sister will be the one sitting in the high chair!  Our family is growing and that has been the greatest blessing of all this year!  Being a grandparent is the best!

I'm going to go open that jar now and soon we'll be sitting down for dinner.   Not a feast, to be sure, but I'll be thankful!
