I could more easily contain Niagara Falls
in a tea cup that I can comprehend the
wild, uncontainable love of God.

...the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7
“Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is… a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” -A.W. Tozer

Lovely, lovely photos. Thank you for sharing your gratitudes :-) I love "And Can It Be" as well. Blessings to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms, bounty and faces! What a lovely list to ponder and give thanks with you. May it be endless!
ReplyDeleteI love that first quote. It reminds me of the hymn that has been going through my head over and over again lately. It is on the boys' VBS CD, and we love to sing it together.
ReplyDeleteO the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To Thy glorious rest above!
Your blog always puts me in such a beautiful mood, Jennifer.
