"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God,
these are children of god.
For you have not received
a spirit of slavery leading to fear again,
but you have received
a spirit of adoption as children
by which we cry out,
'Abba! Father!'
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit
that we are children of God
and if children,
heirs also,
heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with him
so that we also might be glorified with Him.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with
the glory that is to be revealed to us."
Lord, the sufferings of this present time are terrible.
Thank you for the promise of greater glory.
Help us to "trust in You with all our heart."
Day 8 - gifts from God:
1. Daddy's eyes and the smile crinkles I'd see in the rearview mirror
2. Daddy running the hardest part by my side
3. his hand reaching out with compassion
4. that same hand healing from a life-threatening snakebite
5. singing hymns together growing up
6. our children growing up singing with Victor
7. Victor's generous spirit to all, especially our children
8. tickling
9. scaring - in a playful way
10. teaching us to laugh at ourselves and with each other
God, thank you for helping us to
"never, never, never give up."
With gratitude,
Sally
