Everyone was here except for Emily...she stopped in before dinner and made a cup of tea, she was on her way to work. Two cousins joined us for roast beef and gravy, homemade mashed potatoes and roasted carrots, and biscuits. Mirielle and Margaret made mint chocolate chip ice cream pie with hot fudge, peanut butter ice cream pie with Reeses cups crushed on top.....and a cookie dough ice cream pie with chocolate cookies on the fudge....we haven't had any yet, dinner was too good.
I have been thinking about a verse today, about Jesus...."You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has annointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions."
That is so encouraging to me....we can seek joy from temporal things, getting our own way, or accomplishing things...but true joy comes hating my own sin. (not the sins or faults in the others) Jesus got victory over his nature, and was annointed with the oil of gladness. He opened up this way for us to follow Him.
No preaching today, just wanted to say what has been on my heart.
