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 Beloved

I love this statement from the book of Song of Solomon:  "My beloved is mine, and I am his" Song of Solomon 2:16.  When I looked up the Hebrew for "beloved," the Strong's Concordance defines it:  from an unused root meaning properly, to boil, i.e. (figuratively) to love.  So, this must be where "burnin' love" comes from, do you think?  :D  I don't know!  But, I do know that true love does burn in your soul!  It is like a fire that consumes you!  I'm so thankful for my beloved!  I'm so thankful the Lord brought us together in 1971.  What a prize catch I have!

With today being Sunday, the afternoon was pretty quiet.  We had leftover chili for lunch.  After lunch I did some knitting on my shawl.  The rows are getting longer and longer and it currently takes 10 minutes to do one row!  That time will only increase.  I am at the halfway mark, I believe!  That means only 15 more inches to go!  :-0
What's left of the Super Bowl wings from tonight!  I didn't share the game, but I did share the wings!  YUM!

No other photos for the day, except here are 2 for the "photo-a-day" challenges:
Prompt:  Mix (I mix Frito's in with my chili!)  YUM!

Prompt:  I love.....(many things, but this was in my hand when I was looking at my different prompts today.....a raspberry filled Krispy Kreme donut!  I do love them!)
Did you notice 3/4 of my pictures today have to do with food?  :D  All I can say is, "YUM!"

I read the book, "Seaside" by Terri Blackstock last night.  Very good!  I recommend it!  Tonight, I am going to begin reading her book, "Intervention."  Time to start!
