Howdy and Happy Day! I was away for the last three days cooking turkey and hugging grand children. Eighteen of us gathered at our home to give thanks for the many gifts of this life. We were all thankful for each other and that we had pillows for our heads and clean water to drink and to bathe stinky toddler bottoms and to boil our potatoes for the grand feast that fed us for days. I hope you enjoyed the long weekend and will take this day to relax, recover from the over-eating and prepare for Monday.
“God does not love you because you are good, God loves you because God is good.” In fact, the older I get the more I am sure that God does all the giving and we do all the receiving.
God is always and forever the initiator and we are always the recipients. That is not to say that our mustard seed of response does not matter, but it is still “the tiniest of all the seeds” (Matthew 13:32). God makes use of everything that we offer, and seems most grateful for the smallest bit of connection from our side.
