Finished reading All Things For Good! (by Thomas Watson)

What a blessing this book has been!!! To share every single quote that God used to encourage me from this book would probably mean writing most of this book down. Instead, here are a couple of wonderful quotes from the last chapter.

"God has magnified rich grace toward you. You are called to great honour to be co-partners with the angels, and co-heirs with Christ; this should revive you in the worst of times." page 123

"God did not choose us because we were worthy, but by choosing us He maks us worthy." page 123

Next up: Looking forward to reading the missionary biography of John & Betty Stam.

Washington Trip--

Trip to the Pacific Northwest

We recently had the awesome opportunity to visit the Pacific Northwest. The entire family drove up to beautiful Washington State, and spent a couple of days amidst buildings that look like castles of centuries past inVictoria, B.C.. This trip was a wonderful combination of seeing new sights and spending quality time with our dear, dear friends, the Gale family.

Our week consisted of doing a day trip to Seattle, seeing the Empress Hotel & Butchart Gardens in Victoria, making smores over a fire pit @ the Gales, going for walks along the untouched land of WA, spending time @ a local lake. Most treasured were times of fellowship we had with Jason & Shelli, and the kids playing with one another. We are all very thankful for this trip.

All Things For Good by Thomas Watson

“Love is like fire: Where it burns in the heart, it will break forth at the lips. It will be elegant in setting forth God’s praise; love must have vent."

Above is a wonderful quote from one who loved God, Thomas Watson. It is a great reminder that my love for the Lord should be so immense that it can not be contained. It should propel me to tell others of His glorious name.

Forever Friends

Tay & I had the pleasure of sitting next to long time friends, Jeff & Sone, during a recent wedding reception. It's always fun to reminisce and to add new memories.
