I am thankful for:
- Sunshine and coffee to burn off the brain fog.
- Running into an old friend at Panera's this morning and being able to catch up on our families.
- Fellowship midweek with small group and ladies' book discussion. It is both refreshing and strengthening.
- Books that are willing to tackle difficult subjects, namely domestic abuse. I am firmly convinced that how things look on the outside is not enough. Behavioral change is not enough. Heart change must occur, and only the Holy Spirit can do that.
- Recent sermon series on the 10 commandments. I've been convicted of my lack of reverence and love for God. But this makes me even more thankful for a Savior who kept the law perfectly on my behalf and imputes His righteousness to my account.
- Good conversations with my daughter about the Sabbath. Christians have different views, and I am still working through mine. But I am thankful for the rest that only God can give in Christ.
The Sabbath is something that I've been thinking about on and off for several years now. Thinking of devoting a reading quarter to study it next year.
