Small Thoughts: September 2011
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 23, 2011. Contentment: The Heart That Gives. Continuing to think on the track of the last post, I just wanted to share some scriptures that stuck out to me when I was looking up contentment. Compared to how the world thinks, these things are revolutionary - just as they were in the world Jesus and the apostles taught in. I was just recalling the parable in Luke 12 today, about the rich man who planned to build bigger barns for his harvest. To him, God said, "' You fool! So is the man who.

Small Thoughts: March 2012
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 10, 2012. God please help us share and listen good and learn lots about you.". Please help Hannah not be scared at night.". And some more amusing than sweet, like, "Help Lilly be nice and not mean and help her share the toys with me, especially the cash register that she wasn't sharing yesterday." And the little indignant sounds that result from such pointed prayers, coming from across the table. ;). I honestly think this is the best job in the world. ;). Friday, March 2, 2012. The job se...

Small Thoughts: December 2011
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Brown paper packages tied up with string. Wrapping presents is one of the most enjoyable parts of Christmas for me this year. There's the anticipation of watching a loved one opening each gift, and the fun of making a creative package that reflects a bit of the recipient's personality, as well as my own style. I loved the simplicity of using brown paper for wrapping. not to mention it brings that wonderful Sound of Music tune to mind. ;). These are a few of my favorite things.

Small Thoughts: October 2012
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. I love my home. I love the smell of fresh bread as it's being pulled from the oven. I love the warmth of flannel sheets that cocoon me on chilly mornings. I love the smiles and laughter and inside jokes that are part of knowing someone forever. I love the memories created here. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake. Will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life." (Matt 19:29). When we re...

Small Thoughts: February 2012
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 17, 2012. I was just listening to part of a message by Francis Chan the other day, in which he said something about the fact that our generation is getting some of the best, most biblical teaching that has been around for a long time. He was concerned with our propensity to respond with "Wow, that was such a convicting message! But as to what we're going to do about it? Well, I'm going to go back tomorrow and hear another one! I, and probably most who read this, have seen and heard much ...

Small Thoughts: January 2013
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 25, 2013. Over the past couple weeks, I've been busy transferring most of the posts on this blog over to a new blog address. I've been thinking about changing blog hosts for a while, and I've been having problems with viewing blogspot pages lately (the headers don't show up, and the formatting is a little off) in the Firefox web browser, and decided to give WordPress a try. It's taken some getting used to, but it's growing on me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. This,...

Small Thoughts: January 2012

Thursday, January 19, 2012. Canadian winter, eh? I feel like a real Canadian at last! This past week has brought quite the dump of snow. It's sure beautiful, eh? It makes me happy. My boots and gloves and hat and scarf for once! It's the month of Janvier (en Francais). The snow go squeak-crunch. The whistle of wind whining at the door. The clean, linen-white scent of snow. The soup warmly boiling on the stove. My nose tingle sharply from the cold. Soft warm flannel and fuzzy socks. Once Upon a Time.

Small Thoughts: Merry Christmas Adam!
http://smallthoughts29.blogspot.com/2012/12/merry-christmas-adam.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. For an explanation of the title, you can see last year's Christmas Adam post here. Yes, my lame attempt at humor. Sorry. This Christmas, I've been thinking about Genesis. Adam and Eve. The tower of Babel. I love how God has woven HIStory together in scripture - His divine plan, the light shining forth against the darkness. The man who wanted to be God. The bringer of sin. The man of innocence, corrupted by pride. The man who brought death to every man. I seek not to be defined ...

Sunday, October 23, 2011. Monday, October 17, 2011. A Downhere Kind of Day. It's a beautiful day today. A turkey-sandwich-and-chocolate-milk kind of day. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie for dessert? Sure, why not! Monday, October 10, 2011. Today was Thanksgiving here in Canada. God has given so many things to be thankful for! The beauty of creation}. Breathing lungfuls of clean, crisp air}. The happy ache of tired muscles}. Love - 1 Jn 4:19}. A warm and happy home}. The body of Christ}. I can't belie...
