"Paul tells us to 'continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving' (Colossians 4:2). Thanksgiving helps us to be grace-centered, seeing all of life as a gift. It looks at how God's past blessings impact our lives. Watchfulness alerts us to the unfolding drama in the present. It looks for God's present working as it unfold into future grace."Watch for the story God is weaving in your life . . . Corrie ten Boom's father often reminded her, 'The best is yet to come.'"
~Paul Miller, 'A Praying Life'

ReplyDeleteLove the photo and the Word. BUT also love hearing any of the Corrie bits and pieces. She certainly has been one of my main heroes. [AND I met her/saw her in '72 at my church. Could never be disappointed when hearing/reading her info.] Thanks, again.
