Prairiehiker -> RE: What can you thank God for today? (7/13/2008 8:44:45 PM)

I have so many things to thank God for. First, today, our guest speaker was our previous pastor. I love this man. God definitely used him to deepen my knowledge of Him. His topic was on gentleness as the fruit of the spirit (the summer series). He said that through our own power, through behaviour modification, we will never be truly gentle and it can only happen if we let the Holy Spirit guide us. He started with Genesis on how our spirits died when Adam and Eve disobeyed, and how our old nature is not naturally inclined to be gentle due to this fall. He delivered the message so gently but very powerful and it really got through to me. I'm also thankful for a nice afternoon nap which I never ever get, for a long bike ride which ended abruptly but was meant to end so I can rest my overly tired body, and for the beautiful morning I spent with my daughter while she just played with me in bed. SHe enjoys those spontaneous mother/daughter moments. She said this morning that I'm the coolest, bestest mommy in the whole wide world!
