I enjoyed this so… Thankful!
Sandra, again I've printed this out will keep it out by the chair where I have my quiet time. It is amazing how often they are just the verses and quotes that speak to my need that week.
Stay safe in the coming week. I hope you don't get too much more snow now.
I look forward to your Sunday posts. Ever since I started reading them I've been devoting more of my thoughts toward God, relaxing and reveling in His gifts. Thank you.
Christy and I got to go hear Alistar McGrath speak at Wheaton College last week. He just finished a book on C.S. Lewis and it was such a delightful evening.
Happy Sunday.
Fondly,
Glenda
Wonderful words of encouragement. Reminds me of how God is our fortress in this crazy, mixed up world. ~:)
Thank you Sandra. Your Sabbath posts are always a pleasure to read and give me much to ponder.

The more we depend on God, the more dependable we find He is. I have found this to be so true. Thanks for all the golden nuggets today!
@LindaSue, "tame Lion" reminds me of the video series we are doing in our extended family Bible studies. "The Sovereignty of God".
yep – as we say – go big or go home – Great Sabbath Keeping and all of us who pray need to remember not to try to make Him a "tame Lion" – thanks
