Loved by God, born to serve Him, saved by grace, learning how to both love life and lay down my life that I might truly live. This is where I share bits of things I learn at home, in books, in the garden and with my family.
"Do you love the fact that you exist to make God look glorious?"
"...You were made to feast on Christ. To be satisfied with him. To treasure his infinite value. To enjoy making much of him all your days. Here is your fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. Not in being made much of, but in making much of him. Therefore what is the love of God? It is the preservation and the exaltation of his own holiness for your enjoyment forever. And what is it then to be loved by this God? It is not to be made much of, but to be given the ability, by the death and resurrection of Jesus, to enjoy making much of him forever. God loves me when he helps me be satisfied in God and not in me. God loves me when he helps me forget about me and be thrilled with Christ. God loves me when he dies in my place that I might know him and be satisfied with all that he is for me in Jesus. God loves me when he makes me passionate for his holiness. God's love for me is holy love." - John Piper
"I am serious; for all are serious round about me. God is serious in observing us, Christ is serious in interceding for us, the Spirit is serious in striving with us, the truths of God are serious, our spiritual enemies are serious in their endeavors to ruin us, poor lost sinners are serious in hell; - and why then should not you and I be serious too?" - Matthew Henry

What a unique perspective on thankfulness! That is so true. In living a life of gratitude, we live a life of obedience to God's Word that shows through in many areas of life.
