God is love! 1 John 4:8,10 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love ... Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
God's love is:
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
never slumbering, stirred in motion.
Greater than the strongest wind,
unhidden, tender, kind.
Bigger than the world we know,
incomprehensible, setting the heart aglow.
Brighter than the moon and stars at night,
freely given in delight.
God's love is:
Shrouded in the blood-stained cross;
a victory over loss.
Showered through amazing grace,
found in God's embrace.
God's Love is:
A planned sacrifice, a Son's willing part,
alive in His people's heart!

13 Days To Thanksgiving
When I proposed to give something I am thankful for every day until Thanksgiving, I never realized how much this would effect my life. This has been so much more rewarding than "shopping with the countdown to Christmas."
Today, I am thankful for the blessings of the seasons. God made the seasons when he created the earth. Psalm 104:19 He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down." I further believe we will always have seasons although they may not come when expected or issue forth in the same way each year. Daniel 2:21a "He changes times and seasons;..." God controls the seasons. The seasons occur in God's time. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."
However, when the seasons do come, there is a purpose. Acts 14:17 says, "Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." Leviticus 26:4 also tell us, "I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit."
Regardless of when the seasons do come, I am ready for each one. I enjoy Spring when daffodils, tulips, and early flowers shoot up from the ground and burst open with color. I enjoy the spring rains and cool breezes. In the summer, I am ready for gardening and enjoying the fruits of my labor. By the time summer heat runs me inside to cooler temperatures, I am ready for cool fall weather when I can glory in the beauty of colorful leaves. Then finally, as I labor to sweep up fallen leaves, I am ready for the chill of winter blowing in with promises of a few snow flakes to cover the barren land. During all the seasons, I enjoy walks in the wood, wildlife, and nature. I enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows.
In my thankfulness regarding the seasons, I cannot leave out the verse in 2 Timothy 4:2 which tells me to, "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction."
