October 25, Proverbs 3:34

This fall has been one of the prettiest in Maryland since we’ve moved here. Perhaps it is THE prettiest. In any case, I cannot stop taking photos of leaf covered lanes…it’s addicting.

For some reason, my mind has turned to grace this month or so. Perhaps God knows I’ll be needing a lot of it. And I have lately.

“He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.” Proberbs 3:34.

I really try not to be proud because the fall is pretty hard.

My homework assignment from Mrs. E is to write what I am most grateful for. I know this is late, I may have missed the cut-off to hand in the assignment. It’s a pattern left over from my school days that’s hard to break. Of course I’ve had extenuating circumstances…hope the teacher will excuse me.

Here goes…

…beautiful fall afternoons…health for my little girl…peace of mind in all things big and small…hope for peace of mind through life’s challenges…character and strength of my boy…good walking shoes…in season produce…a loving husband…a satisfying hobby…the grace of God…non-stick bakeware…baby goats…Christmas presents in October…the cross…fresh lemonade…seeing eye dogs…low gas prices…the support of a good computer team…pretty plates…jumping horses…sugar canes…pickled mangoes…roses that bloom in October…a great God, sovereign over all things…

I don’t know if that’s 150 words, I can’t find the word count in MS Word 2007. And so my computer woes continue.

I would encouage you to do your own homework assignment from Mrs. E, but it’s due tonight. If you’re anything like me, you’ll just be starting it now.
