When A Daughter Becomes A Friend

February 2, 2013 by cottagethoughts

Every year you grow in loveliness and grace. Every year you surprise me with new growth, maturity, strength of character, humor and wit.

You are good company…

I am so very thankful for the gift you are to me and to our family. Thank you for your helpful ways, your nurture and care of others, for being such an awesome big sister, for watching my movies with me and shopping with me and for whipping up deliciousness in the kitchen.

You are amazing! Happy birthday, Sweet Elisabeth!

Happy Birthday Elisabeth!

Mother and Daughter relationships are precious and full of lots of emotions, but so worth the journey. Happy Birthday Elisabeth! Keep on adding bricks to your mother daughter wall. May it stay strong and firm on the sure foundation of Jesus Christ. God Bless. Have a very wonderful year. Love Mrs. Triba

Cheerfulness
Taught By Reason

I think we are too ready with complaint
In this fair world of God's. Had we no hope
Indeed beyond the zenith and the slope
Of yon gray blank of sky, we might grow faint
To muse upon eternity's constraint
Round our aspirant souls; but since the scope
Must widen early, is it well to droop,
For a few days consumed in loss and taint ?
O pusillanimous Heart, be comforted
And, like a cheerful traveller, take the road
Singing beside the hedge. What if the bread
Be bitter in thine inn, and thou unshod
To meet the flints ? At least it may be said
' Because the way is short, I thank thee, God. '

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Background Music

Red Mountain Church

The Gadsby Project

Another example of deep, meaningful, and often forgotten old hymns set to contemporary, soulful music. A few new compositions thrown in for fun, but always in keeping with timeless gospel themes of repentance and redemption. When I'm not listening to Indelible Grace, you will probably find me shuffling on my playlist to a Red Mountain church tune!
Contemplation

The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards

6. Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.

17. Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.

25. Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt of the love of God; and to direct all my forces against it.

28. Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.

53. Resolved, to improve every opportunity, when I am in the best and happiest frame of mind, to cast and venture my soul on the Lord Jesus Christ, to trust and confide in him, and consecrate myself wholly to him; that from this I may have assurance of my safety, knowing that I confide in my Redeemer. July 8, 1723.

58. Resolved, not only to refrain from an air of dislike, fretfulness, and anger in conversation, but to exhibit an air of love, cheerfulness and benignity. May 27, and July 13, 1723.
