A New Year

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 :-)

  2. Thank 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 :-)
