Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:

- Seasonable weather. After near 80 degrees on Christmas Eve, the crisp air is a welcome change.

- Wildlife neighbors. Now that it is colder, I've been scattering sunflower seeds on the deck for the critters. It makes a mess, but I enjoy watching the squirrels and the songbirds.

- Daily routine. Uneventful, boring days are rather nice.

- My daughter starting at university next week. I am excited that she is excited about majoring in applied physics. As she put it, it's getting a glimpse at how the Son upholds all things by the word of His power.

- Small group meeting last night. It was so nice to be together again after several weeks off for the holidays. We were able to catch up with one another, pray for each other, and discuss the sermon on the Trinity.

- God's provision for unexpected turn of events.

- This quote from Herman Bavinck:

"According to Scripture, God is incomprehensible yet knowable, 

absolute yet personal."
