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

Hump Day

I have no concern to get over hump day now that I am not working.  What a great feeling that is!  Thank You, Lord!

I was bound and determined to finish my shawl today, so I started on it again this morning.  Then I got word from the Christian Bookstore that a book I had ordered was in.  So, after lunch I made a trip to pick the book up.  It may be the book we do as a ladies' Bible study in our monthly meetings.  While there I always check their clearance area.  Well, I hit the jackpot today!  I saved $536.65!  Everything I got was marked 90% off!  I was able to pick up several things for birthdays for the grandkids!  Tim was sticker-shocked when he saw how much I saved!  He said, "so, how much did you have to spend to save that much?"  The answer is $78.96.....$15 of it being for the book I had ordered, which was a savings of $5 for it, too!  :D  So, I think I did pretty good!  I just have to store the gifts someplace where I won't forget about them!  If I do, there is always Christmas!

After returning from the store, the neighbor needed to go to the bank and Walmart, so I was gone for a couple of hours with that trip.  Not too long after that I had to start working on supper.

I said all of that to say that I didn't get my shawl finished today like I wanted to.  I'm going to knit on it some more tonight after I'm done here, so I may still get it done.  We shall see.

I kid you not!!!!!!!  Spring is here in NC!
And my daffodils did bloom today, but it was raining this morning when I checked and then with all of the running around I did, I forgot to get a picture of them.  I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow sometime.

And, today's photo prompt:  more than one
My 3 bags of savings from LifeWay Christian Bookstore.

Tomorrow we thrift!  :D
