Matthew 6: 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?  King James Version  

LORD willing see you soon.

Love, Kathie 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

The bird is roasting, the potatoes are baking; so is the dressing, the green beans will be in the pan soon and the cranberry sauce is chilling. 
It’s been a laid-back morning so the meal is a little later than normal; but, hey, we are giving many thanks. And we hope you all are as well. 

With JESUS love and kindest regards to you all,
JT and Kathie

A Taste

I am writing from recall from early morning – 3:00 ish.  The Little One had stirred hungry. So, I fetched him from his crib, and while he gulped down eight ounces of formula snug between us, love and blessings caressed my thoughts.

Thoughts of the difference from now and then. Thoughts of how I didn’t know. Thoughts I wasn’t then but now am grateful. Thank You, LORD GOD. Not that I got to but I get to.

I get to be free. I get to be kind. I get to be patient. I get to be grateful. I get to be happy. I get to overcome me! I get to love you!

Nothing about this Jesus Life is I GOT TO.
It’s all I GET TO!
It’s Freedom.
This is what freedom in Christ in this moment feels like.
I get to love this baby.
I get to hear him drink in nourishment.
I get to desire the sincere milk of the Word. 
See 1 Peter 2:2-4.
I get to snuggle with this little package of love.
I get to!
A life of I get to. It’s a taste of Heaven on earth!

I GET TO!
Got it?
Good. :)
