when the weather is warm like this it makes me confident that i am going to survive old man winter. despite my best efforts to hibernate like the bears, i really do enjoy solidarity.
the windows are open. katie is working on a creative writing assignment. three kids are sleeping b/c we have a groundhog party to attend, and i am satisfied with my day of no snow :)
here are some wonderful quotes i have come across lately in my mad reading addiction.
"This life, therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness,
not health but healing,
not being but becoming,
not rest but exercise.
..We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it.
THe process is not yet finished, but it is going on.
This is not the end but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified." John Calvin
"Strongholds are like concrete fortresses we've constructed around our lives block by block, ordinarily over the course of years. We created them ,whether or not we were aware, for protection and comfort. Inevitably, however, these fortresses become prisons. At some point we realize we no longer control them. They control us." Beth Moore, Breaking Free
"There is a difference between believing that God is holy and gracious, and having a new sense on the heart of the loveliness and beauty of that holiness and grace. The difference between believing that God is gracious and tasting that God is gracious is as different as having a rational belief that honey is sweet and having the actual sense of its sweetness." Jonathan Edwards A Divine and Supernatural Light
stay warm, or cool. depending on where you are :) ~s
I am stealing that Edwards quote!
