Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Happy St. Patty's Day! I don't believe in luck, but if I did, today would have been a lucky day for me! I got an e-mail from "my" Mega Thrift store up the street letting me know that they were celebrating St. Patrick's Day with 75% off on Green tagged items! WOOHOO! Let's go! Every week they feature a different colored tag at 50% off. I visit the store every week and I only buy the items with the 50% off tags. I've had my eyes on some of the culottes there and today I was able to get two pair with green tags! That makes three pair now that I can take to FL with us next week! WOOHOO! I also found 3 tops that will be very versatile because I will be able to wear them with several things. And I also found 2 skirts and a patriotic T-shirt that I will be able to wear with any of the culottes I have! So, I got 8 pieces today for $12! That is $0.75 per piece, if I did the math right in my head, LOL! And, two of the items I bought still had the original price tags on them! Thank You, Lord, for your Irish Blessings today!

And, speaking of Irish Blessings, that is the name of the kit I used for today's page. Designer is Maddy Fernandez and you can find the kit HERE.

We're looking now for an alternate one to patronize regularly. It is on our list of things to do now that Lisa is here and summer is coming (wishful thinking or faith - not sure which). :)

BTW, I loved the history of Forsyth Co.'s name. I'm a big history buff as is my hubby. We are happy anywhere we go as a result of always being able to find historical and genealogical societies to visit.

I'll email you privately about some genealogy ideas. There are several free resources available.; March 17, 2009 at 10:44 PM
