Thankful...



Joining in today.... Hop over here for more.

http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/



Thankful today for God's Word...His Words written in His Book...for my instruction and exhortation, and for wisdom..."know-how" to walk this journey. But thankful most of all for Jesus Christ who was truly The Word in flesh...walking right here on this planet long ago. To leave Heaven and be willing to come down here...an act too incomprehensible for me...but I am grateful with all my heart.




C. S Lewis ~ Mere Christianity


“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine....A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”



Do you know today WHO designed and created you? Are you running on the one element you need to keep going?...OR are you feeling lost, running on empty?
Run to Jesus.
Find the true source of fulfillment, joy and peace. Pick up God's Word and get to know the ONE who knows you inside out and can give you all you will ever need.

God's blessings on this day. Thanks to all who popped in for a visit.

Hugs to all my bloggy sisters..

And we are perfect the way we are because Our Creator made us. We can go back to him everytime after a fall, he is there always waiting for us... Time after time.

I certainly know who created me and who my Heavenly Father is and what a great knowledge that is to have! I love C.S. Lewis and his thoughts and quotes, we have a quote book of his and just love it. Julie, your comments are always so warm and even though I know lots of Julie's, I always know which is a comment from you. Thanks for your friendship and love! Love you too :D

Just me, catching up again with what you've been up to Julie. Enjoyed reading about Jonny's adventures and glad he's back home safe and sound again! And that's amazing that your little Gideon stands his ground even when that loud vacuum cleaner comes calling. You always have sound wonderful faith based inspiration for us all over here too. Hope you're staying warm down there, I heard you had quite an unusual cold snap down there. Sending warm hugs to you dear Julie! ~Lili

What a great observation. Apart from Him there is no true happiness. How I wish everyone could or would realize this.
Thank you for sharing.
