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

My Inner Little Girl Came Out...........

Our thrifting today gave way to the little girl within me......namely, my granddaughters, Hannah and Kara. They take turns pushing Rosa around in the doll stroller when they are here. Ryan gets in on the actions sometimes, too! But, mostly Hannah plays with Rosa. Rosa usually ends up at the Dr. Day Clinic, at some point during her visit with us! Rosa seems to be a sickly child! Dr. Day (grandpa) is consulted quite frequently! Usually, when Hannah leaves, Rosa goes back in the stroller to sleep until Hannah or Kara shows up again. Well, now Rosa will be wide awake and waiting for their appearance! I found a little wooden high chair. I think there used to be some padding, but maybe not. I can tell it has been re-painted. Nevertheless, it was calling my name and I knew right away that Rosa "needed" it for her long waits. Now she can stay awake instead of sleeping between her Hannah and Kara visits! After all, she isn't Sleeping Beauty.......she is Rosa!
