How God reiterates things just to make sure we got the point. I came up with my title to this page some time ago. It was a verse out of a chapter with a story that really hit me hard and true. Today my Uncle Joe taught out of that chapter this morning during Sunday school, and it just got him and it got me. It reminded me how grateful and thankful we should be for the mercy we've been shown, and about how faith and belief can be very different things. The Pharisee in the chapter was a religious believer, but had belief without emotion and gratefulness. The woman was the worst kind of sinner in the eyes of the Pharisee, but her faith and unashamed illustration of her faith and gratefulness allowed Jesus to say, "Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
Then the choir this morning sang the song I posted about on my last post. Thank you Lord for your blessings on me.
Then Pastor Mike taught out of Psalm 100 on being Thankful to God and for God.
It's so easy to feel like you've reached an epiphany one day, and forget where you were on the next. Thank you Lord for sending me constant reminders of the blessings you open my eyes to; we forget all too easily without constant prodding.
