Wednesday. It’s the first day of Lent--a day to recall that we are but dust and a time to begin walking through the story of Jesus’ life once more. We separated ourselves from Him and made ourselves our God; He gave up His glory and took upon Himself His own wrath that was meant to be ours so that our relationship could be made right with Him once more.
How can this be?
“Yet the Lord still waits for you to come to him. He wants so much to show you his love. He will conquer you to bless you, just as he said.” Isaiah 30:18 taken from The Bible for Children
We stand near the fire to gather in its warmth and marvel at the crackling flames of yellow and red. In the same way let us come before God to be warmed by His love and to stand in awe at the wonders of His grace.

In sign language the sign for mercy, grace and pity are all the same.
"He will conquer you to bless you..."
Now that is deep.
I will imagine myself before your wonderful fire, tea cup in hand, enjoying a lovely visit with you.
I am visiting your blog for the first time and really enjoy it. I like your pictures and your writing is special. Especially the way you honor the Lord Jesus. That calls to me :-)
I'm glad all of you have stopped by today! Maggie Ann, thanks for letting me know you came by. I just share the simple things from my farm and my heart.
My cyber hearth is burning...
