"If human love does not carry a man beyond himself, it is not love. If love is always discreet, always wise, always sensible and calculating, never carried beyond itself, it is not love at all. It may be affection, it may be warmth of feeling, but it has not the true nature of love in it." Oswald Chambers

Isaiah 40:25,26

To whom then will you compare me,

that I should be like him? says the

Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high and see:

who created these?

He who brings out their host by number,

calling them by name,

by the greatness of his might,

and because he is strong in power

not one is missing.

BEST HOLIDAY EVER!!!

Henry, thank you for coming all the way from freezing cold Canada to surpreeze Ruthy.

And thank you for being the most wonderful, kind, funny,
gentle, loving guy to my cherry. Youre the best!

(oh and thanks for getting along with me!)

How quick we are to judge,

Too easily do our hands reach down for that stone to throw.

How unashamedly do we hold our neighbour up to the light,

Only to point out their flaws.

To think that this could be a remedy for our own shortcomings.

Or perhaps we might subdue our burning conscience

If we gloat over the failings of another.

How selfish and unfulfilling.

Our Father was broken when he saw our sins.

He came to make an unholy people holy once more.

He is the One who opens my eyes

He is the reason I can look at the one who stands beside me

And see a beautiful creation.

Lord, let my world be full of You.
May my words be caught up in Yours
And my thoughts be tangled in Your glorious truths.
Father, let my heart be forever enamoured by Your beauty
And may my actions bear the sweet fragrance that is You.
Truly Jesus, I want to be lost in You.
