Gem of the day:
...consider how GREAT THINGS
He hath done for you.
~1 Samuel 12:24~
I came across this the other day in a devotional titled "Behold the Lilies of the Field" by Verna Mast and Susan Schwartz. Of course the "great things" verses caught my eye first, but it's such a good list that I wanted to share it with you all, too. There's nothing quite like good, solid truth from the Word to give fresh strength and hope. God has done SO MUCH for us, my friends! How can we help but praise Him?

Encouragefest08! I'll be closing comments on it Thursday morning.
Also, the video clips from
my last photo post are online again, in case some of you didn't get to see them before the Great Hacking Disaster. The quality isn't the best because I had to compress them so much, but I still think they're worth watching. We had a great time that evening. :-D
