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

Leaves, Bumblebees and Baked Potatoes

I love looking through the trees and capturing the beams of light from the sun.  The light and shadows are fascinating.  The lower the sun, the longer the shadows!

 


 

The garden is about gone for the year, but the marigolds are going strong!  And the bumblebees have really been enjoying them, too, of late.  I didn’t really see them earlier in the season.  Maybe they have been buzzing around while I was not around.

 




Baked potatoes (with lots of butter), I have found, are easy on my tummy.  And they are very filling and satisfying so I don’t get the snackies in between meals!




Gladiolus Bulbs

I received 6 gladiolus bulbs from my secret sister last year but I didn’t get them planted until this year.  Thank you, Sharon!


 

Apple Day

Araya is dressed for Apple Day with her red pig tails and red tank top!


 

Fall Ball

Araya and Thad both made goals in their first game of fall soccer!  Way to go!


 

Middle-Aged Women

This boy of mine!  We were having a conversation tonight and he suggested that I start a Facebook message with another mom a specific way, then he said, “trust me, mom.  I know middle-aged women.”  Is 41 “middle-aged”?
