As I head off into my day of caring for my family, language, preparing to have friends over for dinner and really often just focusing on one foot in front of the other I found this quote on another blog and it encouraged me greatly....
"Remember, the growth of a believer is not like a mushroom—–but like an oak, which increases slowly indeed–—but surely. Many suns, showers, and frosts, pass upon it before it comes to perfection. And in winter, when it seems to be dead–—it is gathering strength at the root. Be humble, watchful, and diligent in the means, and endeavor to look through all, and fix your eye upon Jesus—–and all shall be well."
John Newton, Letters of John Newton
I will be enjoying my Starbucks this morning too, thanks to that package yesterday!
