Last night at bible study we studied this passage. It's very timely for me. How good to be reminded of the praiseworthy, the lovely, the admirable, pure and holy in our everyday lives, even... Especially when the times are hard.
Phillipians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Settlement on our new home is tomorrow and I have mixed emotions. We will start moving in a few boxes tomorrow night and sleep there on Saturday night. I am so excited to move in and be settled, but oh, there is also the part that cries for this little home of mine. In reflecting earlier I thanked God for the blessings that make leaving here so sad. And I pray for new memories to be made in our new home too.
I am certainly the emotional one in our family with Tobes and I. I connect to people and places strongly and find change unconfortable when I'm in it. I'm looking ahead to see what will happen in this next chapter of our lives.
And you will be able to read about something other than house moving soon too... I'm sorry. I feel some scrapbooking coming on! :) Thankyou for hanging in here with me through this time. I really appreciate it. xoxo
