Reflections

Be JOYful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be JOYful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. -- Romans 12:12

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. -- 2 Timothy 1:7

  • Koen turned 6 today!  I remember how scary it was when he was born 6 weeks early.  I look at the amazing boy he's become and am SO thankful!
  • I'm doing pretty well at remaining more positive than negative...big improvement!
  • I'm thankful for helpful family members.
  • As I hear about more and more natural disasters striking our world I'm thankful for all we've been blessed with and pray first of all not to take it for granted and second of all to share our blessings with others unselfishly.

  • I had a bad attitude day today, but I'm still able to recognize that I'm tremendously blessed and would be foolish not to be joyful about it.
