November 2.

A very special day for me. Seventeen years ago today a man-child was born – my first-born GRAND. I gladly gave him my heart, he still has it – albeit he does have to share 🙂 now.  Happy Birthday, Jeff. Your Mamaw loves you!!

Yesterday I said I was thankful for clean clothes.

Today (day 2) I say I am thankful for candles, highly fragrant and made in the USA ones.

Some translations read candle, and some read lamp; my ‘considered’ opinion is that lamp is most appropriate but for the sake of congruity here, read candle for lamp in the passages following.  (  🙂 humor me)

28 LORD, You light my lamp; my God illuminates my darkness.

Ephesians 5: Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].
2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
via Ephesians 5:1-3 AMP – THEREFORE BE imitators of God copy Him – Bible Gateway.
