Today we celebrate Fourth Week of Lent

"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:16-18

Thankful Thursday

Oh Lord, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.

Psalm 12:7

It’s been a while since I posted – I got started with my internship, and just as things started to get settled, something awful happened.  On September 15, our house was broken into, and we were cleaned out.  They took pretty much everything that they could turn around quickly – TVs, video games, jewelry,  etc.  It was heartbreaking, and I’m still working on getting things together for the insurance claim.

However, the more important thing is what I am thankful for this week.  No one was home except the cats, and they were all unharmed.  While our things were taken (some of which were irreplaceable), no one was hurt,  I am SO THANKFUL that God kept us safe and away from a potentially dangerous situation, and that the cats were not hurt through all this.

See what others are thankful for at Spiritually Unequal Marriage.

  5. [...] silly . . . but this week I am thankful that our insurance check came and we can put the whole getting robbed thing behind us!  Simple (and slightly petty) thing to be thankful for, but I think I’m most [...]
