disregarded emails.

Let me set the scene for you.

Here I am, bored out of my mind.
So I decide to go through some of my emails that you read, but never really "read".
You know what I saying?

         Anyway, I came across this email from Christian Single Women that they sent me a few months back. I marked it so I could find it later on. Weeks went by; I never read it; until today.

         The article was sent during the Thanksgiving season, thus it was all about thankfulness. The author of this particular little email shared some little things that she has personally learned about God's character this year. Me, being a person who has devoted 2012 to learning more about my Heavenly Father especially loved hearing what she had to say. If you're interested be sure to check it out.

Her list made me think "what would my list look like?"
Maybe something like this...
  
1. God is supreme. He holds all things together. (All things Hold Together) 
2. God is the epitome of love. He is far more than our human comprehension  
    of what love is. (Love Revolution) 
3. God cares for our hearts and yearns to protect us from harm. Thank 
    goodness. (Follow Your Heart?)
4. God's answers to my prayers are perfect. It may not be what I wanted, but 
    it's what I need. (Prayers)
5. God's timing is perfect. Never late, never early.


On a side note, I read a lovely little post from a fellow blogging friend, Hilary. It's entitled Lord Let Me Never Marry. It's beautifully written. Check it out and show her some blog-love.

What would you add to this list? 
What has God taught you about His Character? 

lonliness.

Tis' the season of lonliness.
Not only is there countless Christmas parties that you have to attend alone, but every one you go to there's someone there asking why you're still single. Yeah, we've all been there. It's a bummer.

But today I found a wonderful little verse that made me re-think the validity of this "lonliness".

^"So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit."

Ephesians 2:19-22

Whenever you feel lonley or unloved, remember to whom you belong.

We are members of God's family. That's all the love we need. 

That's all I wanted to say today; short and sweet; a reminder to us all.
