Thanksgiving 13

I’m thankful for flowers. I don’t have many in the house right now, just a blooming African violet in the kitchen window that I admire while I’m washing dishes, but usually I have a bouquet or two in the house unless the weather’s too cold to bring flowers home easily. Sometimes youngest daughter buys flowers for me in the Vancouver airport, where they are fresher and cheaper than any I can get here, and flies them home with her. And in the summer, I enjoy all the wildflowers blooming in the woods and all the flowers that grow in my flower beds. 

Flowers are a good gift from our Father, who created a beautiful world for us to enjoy.

Thanksgiving 12

I’m thankful for the Westminster Divines. They were a wise bunch, you know. Obviously, since I’m baptistic, I don’t agree with everything they say in the Westminster Confession or the Catechisms, but the answers in the Larger Catechism to the questions on prayer, which are what I’ve been posting lately, are rich, rich, rich. I’m thankful for the truths they teach us and for the men who worked to give us these wonderful historic church documents.
