Little happenings

Today my alarm went off. Silently. And when my eyes finally popped open, I jumped out of bed. 10 minutes before I was supposed to leave my house.
Once I scrambled out of the door, I scraped the ice off of my car and opened the door. Only it didn't open.
As I shivered in the cold, I realized: I locked my keys in the car (again).

Today I walked across West Main Street to eat at Subway. Crossing a "busy" street in a small town may seem like a small feat to you, but to me it was quite the adventure.

Today a man in his eighties tried to convince me to get a Big Mac from McDonald's with him.

Today I learned a new word. In Spurgeon's Morning + Evening, he says, "Let your conversation be redolent of heaven."

red·o·lent  

/ˈredl-ənt/
Adjective
  1. Strongly reminiscent or suggestive of (something): "names redolent of history and tradition".
  2. Strongly smelling of something: "the church was old, dark, and redolent of incense".

Synonyms
fragrant - odoriferous - odorous - aromatic - scented

Today the whole family gathered in the living room for lovely music, laughter, and conversation.

Today I learned once again that Romans 8:28 is absolutely and completely and wonderfully true.



Love, at

    2 Cor 2 (ESV)

    14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

    15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

    16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

    17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

    Rom 8 (ESV)

    28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

    I learned late this evening Rom 8:28 is "absolutely and completely and wonderfully true" too. At the moment its doesn't seem so good, but I do know it will be ultimately good eternally. I'm only passing through. See you in glory, with Him in glory!

    I understand why a 80 year old man would try to convince you to "dine out" with him at McDonald's. You were a younger Christian then, but be sure of this young one, most still see you to be a gullible naïve Christian.

    Prov 31 (ESV)

    30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
