Happy New Year!

A couple George MacDonald quotes to start the new year. I came across them this morning in ‘At the Back of the North Wind’:

The highest wisdom must ever appear folly to those who do not possess it.

It is a strange thing how the pain of seeing the suffering of those we love will sometimes make us add to their suffering by being cross with them. This comes of not having faith enough in God, and shows how necessary this faith is, for when we lose it, we lose the kindness which alone can soothe the suffering.

And from Romans 15 (The Message) this morning:

Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!

I pray this year our hope is in Him alone and that our lives pour out His Glory. In Jesus name, I so humbly pray - Amen.

A couple pics (they are pulling taffy!) and a video from last night at J-Heart Ranch... There was so much more to the evening: sledding, climbing, food, crafts, games… we are so grateful for the opportunity to share life with this family and all those that came. I will try and share a couple more music videos over the next couple days. I love being in a room with other Lovers of Jesus… I love hearing everyone sing to Our Lord.
