A new year, a new blog. Seems like a good plan! I really hope to use this space to keep up with what's going on in our family. More than anything, how Christ is growing our faith. I don't know about you, but having a written account helps me to organize my thoughts and see things more clearly.
I'm not a writer, as you will soon see for yourself. This won't be a blog filled with any kind of awe-inspiring prose (or verse, for that matter). I'm just a mama, trying her best to follow Christ, raise a family, and hopefully reach a few people in the process.
I have a simple thought that's been running through my head all day.
"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth." (Psalm 100:1)
It's been a happy day. Despite sending the kids back to school, and my husband back to work, I feel joyful. And carrying that simple joy around inside all day long is no small thing. I want this joy to spill out into others. It's contagious. It’s supposed to be. Hopefully it will carry itself into my grumpy second grader when he gets home today :-) So despite our cares and woes look for the joy, the simple joy that Christ brings to our lives.
Welcome to Thompsonville! I hope you've had a joyful day :-)

This is so sweet. :) You are an inspiration! I don't know how you do it all, and with a joyful and unstressed heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rachel! The joyful, unstressed heart is a work in progress, but I'm hopeful that sharing with others will result in mutual growth and inspiration :-)
