Do Your Duty

"My meat is to do the will of him that sent me,
and to finish his work."
John 4:34



I am glad to think
I am not bound to make the world go right;
But only to discover and to do,
With cheerful heart, the work that God appoints.
I will trust in Him,
That He can hold His own; and I will take
His will, above the work He sendeth me,
To be my chiefest good.

Jean Ingelow




I've been reading a daily devotional by Mary W. Tileston called Daily Strengths for Daily Needs. It's been so very helpful - I highly recommend it! Each day holds a page of wisdom from God's word and other writers that always meets a need, or provides encouragement in some way.

I`ve finally succumbed

After all these years, I finally decided I`d try blogging...

It`s neat to be able to look back and see what was going on in my life - I have a hard time remembering when things happened, or finding the pictures from such-and-such an event. I must be getting old ;) haha

I hope and pray that this blog will encourage any visitors to stand strong in the Lord and be faithful to Him; to be joyful in all circumstances because of what the Lord has done for those who believe in Him; and on a lighter note, to be able to look back with fond memories of good times past, and thank God for all He`s done.
