I really liked this quote:
God sees with utter clarity who we are. He is undeceived as to our warts and wickedness. But when God looks at us that is not all He sees. He also sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become. -- John Ortberg
That's very encouraging. It's encouraging to know that we all have a purpose and that God sees us as useful to Him. I wish I knew my purpose! But at least I know I have one!
I was so pleasantly suprised when I got home from work last night. I walked in and the living room was clean and there was a vase of roses on the table. I almost swooned at the sight! There were three, a yellow, an orange and a white one. I don't think I've ever seen orange roses before. They are SO beautiful. I love the fall colors and they match the candles on our tables. It was just awesome and such a beautiful gesture. It made me very happy. He can be so romantic when he wants to be! I put a note in his pocket this morning thanking him for the roses and such. Let's hope he doesn't throw it away by accident or that it doesn't fall out of his pocket!
There's supposed to be a cold front coming through this Thursday. Time to crank up the old heaters again. I'm glad its going to be cool. I love long sleeve fall weather, its winter that I could do without. If it would only snow once in a while (or ever) I would love winter too! I do love the holidays though, its January that kind of depresses me. After New Years and then Lily's birthday, it just kind of goes blah. The everyday work and life routine resumes and you start the year over. Maybe this year it will be different though. I mean, I guess it HAS been different since I had kids..never a dull moment, you know. Except at work sometimes. :)
