the glory of God....part 1/Serendipity

-
Months ago, I bought a book written by the great John Piper called:  Reading the Bible Supernaturally.....Seeing and Savoring the Glory of God in Scripture.   It has taken me a while to get going in it....it is heavy stuff for me.  I can read a bit, then think about it awhile, chew it up like bubble gum, and then when I feel like I have grasped a concept, I can turn the page and chew some more.  This week I began to read more intentionally and to also ask God to show me His Glory in my days.  I have praised Him for the glory He possesses and shares, I have thanked Him over and over for blessings like legs to walk, a heart to feel, a mind to think, eyes to see and ears to hear.....I don't want to take any of it for granted.  John Piper said this in the book, as he was explaining glorify as it can also mean magnify....."Magnify.  Yes, that is a good word for glorify.  But it is ambiguous.  We do not magnify him  the way a microscop...

Holy Week, Palm Sunday, Day 1

 This is Holy Week for Christians.  It is the week before Easter and the journey to the cross and resurrection of Jesus.  I have a new opportunity this year with extra Kredit.  XK didn't have a Jesus Easter before....this is his first.  He's been learning at school and so he had a start.  Last night I helped him watch some videos on kids Easter stories and he was captivated.  He paid attention.  He learned.  At bedtime we talked about Jesus and the betrayal of Judas and his trial by Pontius Pilate and where his mama was when this was happening.  We prayed before bed, thanking Jesus for all he had done.  Today in church he watched the kids parade in with palm branches waving.  He sat on my lap and watched them sing Hosannahs to Jesus....and he was captivated.  He paid attention.  He learned.   After church we came home as we do every week and I started lunch.  He wanted to watch the same videos again....

 Last week saturday was the big day!  It's hard to believe it has been a week already!  I am beginning to wonder if it was all a dream, or if it really happened.....but I have been to the newlywed's apartment a few times to watch them open gifts, drop off some food staples, etc. and it definitely happened on January 2.  Wow.  Wow, wow, wow!  I was so proud of us.  We did a good job marrying them off and I am beyond grateful for my tribe.   Josiah was so handsome and proud and capable.  He was mad at me that I didn't seat him at the head table with the rest of the bridal party.  I assumed he would want to sit with us so we could help him with food but after hanging with the big guys all day in their suits he was mortified that I wanted him back at the table with mama at the end of the night.  He decided to sit at the aunt/uncle table right behind us just to prove his point and not sit with me.  (suited me just fine because ...
