The Last Words
of Mary Winslow (Theology for Girls).
On Martyrdom
from the church father Ignatius. For Ignatius,
martyrdom was part of a defense of the faith. Abounding at this time were heretical gnostic teachings, and the specific teaching of Docetism stated that Christ did not suffer and die. By his example of martyrdom, Ignatius could provide a defense for the reality of his faith.

On Losing a Baby
Lisa Blanco shares a few great truths that give comfort, starting with “the Lord does not delight in wickedness.”
It was not wicked for the Lord to take our son. The Lord does not delight in wickedness or evil, his Word tells us in Psalm 5:4. His Word in Psalm 89:14 tells us that his throne is actually built on a foundation of righteousness and justice. I think this is how we can grieve well, when we long to take care and hold our son, to remember God’s foundation of righteousness in all that he does as we grieve in a world of sin and death. Somehow, in the death of our son, God will show us a greater picture of his goodness. Somehow, for our good, this is going to make us look more like his Son, Jesus.

This morning I was thinking about my moral responsibility to value things as God values them (Maybe I’ll explain this more some other time.), and that when I don’t, that’s sin for which I am culpable. The whole thought discussion made me very thankful that my sin was imputed to Christ and his righteousness was imputed to me because I’d be in deep trouble if I had to stand before God’s judgment on my own two feet.
I’m thankful for a little alone time for thinking. I’ve not had much of that lately, so when it comes, I notice and am thankful.
I’m thankful for my family, and that my children care about each other and help each other out when they can.
I’m thankful that it’s our heavenly Father, who is completely trustworthy, who gives and takes away.
Throughout this year I’m planning to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving each Thursday along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.
