Every last crumb

So...Mac was eating some bunny cookie snacks the other day. I guess we were near the bottom of the box when I gave it to him. I was feeding Corrie and looked over to see that Mac had dumped out the entire box and was making sure that he got every last crumb of those bunnies.

Snow on a little finger

Yesterday morning we awoke to snow! Well...OK, let's be honest: it was more like a light dust. But hey, it was enough to stick Mac in his snowsuit and boots. He was so funny with the snow this time. He insisted on using his pointer finger to transport snow from one object to another. You can see from these pictures how effective this procedure was...about 3 snowflakes an hour.

Think About it

"I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High." (Psalm 7:17 ESV)

Last night I was reading Psalms 6 and 7 before I went to sleep, and this last verse in Psalm 7 really stood out to me: Is there any other God that people just joyously shout and sing praises to? I cannot think of a single one!
If you know God, you know the joy that comes from knowing Him and serving Him. What other religion/god elicits this spontaneous praise just because of who he is?
The new age "god" is distant and unknowable in a personal way, hindu gods must constantly be appeased for fear of punishment and the muslim life is a balancing act of hoping that your good deeds outweigh your bad...but where is the peace and joy that you see reflected in those who know God and in the scriptures of the Bible? I know I am grossly oversimplifying other religions...I am just speaking my thoughts out loud. What a privilege it is to know and worship the God who is like no other. Please Lord, do not let me take my joy in praising You for granted!

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"
