Tuesday Ten

I thank God for:

1. His unshakeable love: "I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me." (Jeremiah 32:40)

2. Getting to go visit schools with our senior

3. Julie, who will truly love my 4- and 5-year-olds

4. Jessica, who will truly love Buck (somehow!)

5. Getting to go to Lookout Mountain and Chickamauga battlefield

6. The fun that I know we will have in the hotels along the way, even those that are cheap and happen to be next to train tracks

7. Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levine, which we bought to listen to on the way

8. How hard my kids have worked to get ahead in their online classes so they can make this trip

9. The reminder that we are polishing these arrows to send them out

10. That the timing of this trip worked out perfectly for John to be able to drive us

Tuesday Ten

I thank God:

1. For His mercies, displayed in Romans 1-11, that lead us to humility and hope (He who did not spare His own son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32)

2. That He has made us slaves to righteousness, free to do the will of God from the heart, only through the power of His Spirit

3. For trouble that exposes sin and presents an opportunity to kill it! (Always be killing sin or it will be killing you. - John Owen)

4. That He has made Christians dragon slayers

5. That my husband and I are one flesh -- no one can make me so happy, so mad or laugh so hard as he can

6. That my children have heard the powerful, living and active Word of God from before they were born

7. For the godly teachers and role models that He has given our family

8. For friends who can preach the Truth to me with one sentence

9. For children who believe what He says

10. For neediness that glorifies Him -- because He is the only fountain that fills
