Day
"Almighty God, we bless and praise Thee that we have wkened to the light of another earthly day; and now we will think of what a day should be. Our days are Thine, let them be spent for Thee. our days are few, let them be spent with care. There are dark days behind us, forgive their sinfulnedd; there may be dark days before us, strengthen us for their trials. We pray The to shine on this day- the day which we may call our own. Lord, we go to our daily work; help us to take pleasure therein. Show us clearly what our duty is; help us to be faithful in doing it. Let all we do be well done, fit for Thine eye to see. Give us strength to do, patience to bear; let our courage never fail. When we cannot love our work, let us think of it as Thy task; and by our true love to Thee, make unlovely things shine in the light of Thy great love. Amen" (George Dawson, 1821-1876)
That is an excerpt from Elisabeth Elliots: Secure in the Everlasting Arms. It is a wonderful book that I am currently reading.
I leave in about 12 hours to go on a very big trip. I will be flying into DC to visit friends. I am barrowing a car from a very generous friend so I will be able to get around. I am going to also drive down to Charles City, VA to visit my new neice Abigail Jane. I am so excited to meet her-finally.
All that said, I will probably not be able to update the website as often while I am gone. But be ready for when I get back on March 14th for tons of new pictures and blogs. Thank you to all of you who are praying for Eli and I- we need it and we appreciate it.
Bless you now. Have a wonderful day.
