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

A Few of My Favorite Things

Believe it or not, this is organized compared to what it was a few minutes ago!

I spend a LOT of time at this desk, so I like having my favorite things around me for inspiration. I will list them here and you see if you can "find" all of them (click the picture to get a bigger view of it):

Recent Family Portrait
2 calendars with pictures of grandchildren
1 scripture calendar
1 daily calendar (not yearly)
Bible and devotional
Things to do Today list (rarely looked at) :)
Bills to pay (collecting in a pile)
Patriotic paraphernalia
Misc. pictures of family and friends
Tatted cross (gift from Jeanetta Frost at Buffalo)
Cute little jars and containers for office-type supplies
Star Wand (gift from co-worker who went to Disney)
Caricature drawing of Susie and I from "Leaving" Amos Plant.
Talking Secretary Head (given to me by my supervisor, Richard, at Amos)
Clock (to help me keep track of time to fix Tim's dinner) :)
Other Misc STUFF

I awoke today with one of those headaches that is not giving up easily! Say a prayer for me, please! I'm counting on the quote from my Helen Steiner Rice Daily Calendar, which says:
Always remember
That whatever betide you,
You are never alone
For God is beside you.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Today be thankful for God's companionship.
Right now, I need Him to take the headache away! I think, however, they are my "thorn in the flesh."

Have a blessed day! Love you all!

you have a lot of calendars! It's time to change the one I made for you! =)
You passed your thorn in the flesh down to me, maybe not as severely, but since being pregnant I haven't had one headache
