Of pumpkin pies, and busy days....

let my heart as clear as a crystal fountain be... 
Hello Everyone!
I know I have not posted in awhile, but then-- I honestly have been busy! :)
Here are some of the things that have kept me going:
  • Cooking
  • Cleaning
  •  Household duties.. etc
  • And the mental "to do" list 
Yet there are things in my busy days that I enjoy--

  • Beautiful (may I repeat that?) beautiful sunsets
  • Blue colored skies
  • My Heavenly Father's love
  • And my wonderful family

I have been reading the book: The way of the cross, and I find it so true when the author states:
"The two great pillars upon which true Scriptural Christianity rests are the greatness of our fall and the greatness of our redemption. "Until," says William Law, "you are renewed in the spirit of your mind, your virtues are only taught practices and grafted upon corrupt bottom. Everything you do will be a mixture of good and bad; your humility will help you to pride; your charity to others will give nourishment to your own self love, and as your prayers increase so will the opinion of your own sanctity. Because till the heart is purified to the bottom, and has felt the axe at the root of it's evil (which cannot be done by outward instruction), everything that proceeds from it partakes of its impurity and corruption."" - The Way of the Cross by: J. Gregory Mantle
--That I may become empty, so He may fill me!!!!  
Have a wonderful fall, and enjoy your days. 
Jesus Christ is Lord, and He is waiting to make a difference in your life, and in the lives
of other people. Trust HIM!!!
