Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for:

God's provision for some car work. It's no fun when the mechanic says he needs to talk to you about something he's found, but better to find out than be stranded on the side of the road. I'm also thankful the shop manager was willing to reduce the price a bit.

The women's study in Philippians. We are using Joy! by Keri Folmar, which has been a good springboard for some great discussions about the gospel.

These words by Samuel Ward from today's entry in Voice From the Past:

Would you believe, but you realize you have been a sinner? Christ came to save sinners. O you say, but my sins are scandalous! Did not Christ say 'All things are possible for one who believes?' (Mark 9:23). Are not all your faults easily pardonable by infinite mercy? Did not his blood wash David's bloody sin as snow? Did Christ come from heaven to cure only small scars and cuts? Are not the deep, long-standing, and serious wounds included? O take heed, take your eyes off yourself and look upon Christ.
