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

Zippity Doo Da

That was a FAST week!  Time just keeps right on zipping by!  My parents used to tell us that time passed more and more quickly the older you get!  I'm believing it!

Thursday, February18th
We tried a new place out for breakfast, Stratford Station, because we were going to a used bookstore in that area to see if we could trade in some/all of the books we have been reading for store credit.  Well, they took very few of them, but for the 18 they kept, they gave us store credit of $19.25!  Now, granted their prices are higher than the thrift store books, but it is better than giving the books back to Goodwill for them to sell again and get nothing for them!  So, it is a win-win!  While we were there, Tim found 3 books he had on his list.  But, then we turned around and found 2 of those at the thrift stores that day!  Doesn't it figure!  :D

Since we were getting a later start than usual after eating breakfast out and going to the used bookstore, we decided to stay in our area and do our thrifting.  So, we went to the usual 2 and then went to the big Goodwill downtown because they have a HUGE book section.  We also hit 2 other thrifts that we rarely ever go to over there.....Mega Thrift and the Habitat ReStore.  I think we found books at the last 2, but not in the Goodwill!


Here's our daily photo.  Tim's comment was, "looks the same as all the rest."  Except that I took it in my craft room.  Guess I'll have to think of some things to get creative with our daily photo!  :D  Except for the suggestions his mom has made, like me on his shoulders, etc!  :D

I have 2 Christmas Cactus plants that are crazy full of buds and blooms!  But, if I remember correctly, I may have had one bloom at Christmastime!  :D

LOVE the color of this flower!
We went to visit the husband of one of our church ladies.  He had a stroke on both sides of his head and is in rehab.  We also went to see Gary Mabe who is about the same.  Saw one lonely daffodil bloom at his house.
Our daily photo.  Taken at Abbott's Creek Nursing/Rehab Facility.
Tonight's ladies meeting was Movie Night.  We watched "Ruth."  Hannah even likes it!  :D
We had a great crowd of 11 ladies.  They really enjoyed the movie!

We ate while we watched!  :D

The usual happened today.....cleaning the bathrooms, laundry, cleaning the church.  It was a beautiful day!  I don't know what the exact temperature was, but it was shirt-sleeve weather, especially this afternoon when the sun finally broke through the clouds.

A robin perched in the tree that I can see from my laundry room.  I pulled the curtain back so I could be ready to take pictures.  I saw a cardinal earlier, but when I reached up to pull the curtain back, he flew away!

My second free scrapbooking kit that I won from Ali Edwards.

Our version of the farmer and his wife.  He is holding a pitch fork and neither of them are smiling.  We couldn't remember if the wife was holding anything, so I held the broom while Tim held the mop that HE didn't use!  :D  He uses the vacuum when we clean the church.
Daffodils at church will bloom soon if the weather stays warm.

Mine in the front of the house aren't as far along as the ones at church.  This side of the house stays in the shade most of the day.

Doesn't take much warmth or sunshine for these to pop their heads up!

Last but not least, the sky in the evening tonight.  Beautiful!
Have a blessed Lord's Day!  Nite!
