Ice Cream on the Lawn
Seven of our eight grands.
This one year old's first ice cream cone!
Taking the afternoon to be in the Word with Jesus was more yummy than ice cream!
She Reads Truth is currently doing an online study called "Women in the Word." Yesterday's entry was about the life of Rebekah. I just had to pass along the meat of this message.
"The truth is, we are all Rebekahs, assuming control of circumstances that are not ours to control. We are all Esaus, wondering what we've done wrong when the "not fair" moments of life come our way. And, praise the Lord, we are all Jacobs, given the Father's blessing when we've done nothing to deserve it.
Sisters, our plans do not save us! Our mad hunting skills and Bible-reading savvy do not merit the Father's blessing. Certainly, our scheming and our sin, no matter how well intentioned, are not our hope. Our salvation only comes from the hand of our good and sovereign God-
"not from works but from He who calls." (Romans 9:12)
Don't you love learning or at least being reminded of truths we may have placed on the back burner!
