Thankful Thursday

Very confused flowering quince

I am thankful for:

- Strength for a hectic week. My daughter started at university this week, so we've both been adjusting to her new and busy schedule. It's hard to believe it hasn't even been a week since her orientation. Thankfully, all has gone well so far. She likes her classes and her professors and is even more certain that she is in the right major. We're both amazed at God's providence in bringing her to this point.

- My fellow bloggers at Out of the Ordinary. I am thankful for their friendship, their love of the Word, and their desire to be sound in the faith.

- Discussions where science, theology, and philosophy intersect.

- Recent sermon series by Pastor Ryan on the doctrine of God. These sermons have changed my awareness of how I speak and think about God. Who He is impacts everything.

- God's creation. The doctrine of God has given me a greater appreciation for what He has made.

I give you thanks, Creator and God, that you have given me this joy in thy creation, and I rejoice in the words of your hands.  Johannes Kepler
