“We MUST have an unconditional readiness to change in order to be transformed in Christ.” — Dietrich von Hildebrand

my heart today

“Why do you let me see ruin;
why must I look at misery?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and clamorous discord.

Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets,
so that one can read it readily.
For the vision still has its time,
presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint…

Habakkuk 2

My heart is SO full today, I can’t even explain it. Such beautiful promises in today’s readings to top it all off! What a weekend. Can I just tell the world for once what a great husband I have? Completely without my knowledge, he spent the past month plotting a surprise party FOR ME, back home, with the help of family & friends. I was stunned. My sister flew in from out-of-state, a friend drove in from another state. Hubby even planted an entire keg in our little car without me knowing!

Psychologists talk about filling up our “love tanks.” Well, yesterday my “love tank” was filled to the brim like the jars of the woman from Zarephath in the Old Testament. During a time of famine, God blessed her by giving her jars of flour & oil which never ran dry. [1 Kings 17] Thanks to all - for all the love!

We were bummed to have missed it. So glad to hear WHW made it - actually I was thrilled for you!
A great surprise from hubby. Way to earn lots of points on that one. :)

“lots of points” is right!

And it was great to see W. We can all keep him in prayer the next few months as he decides which road to travel next!
