Salt and bad blogger!

I've been a naughty blogger, and have neglected my blog for 2 weeks!!! I know this as my last entry was the Salt challenge and now I have another.

The theme is Walking in the Love of God, this verse was brought to mind, such a well used one, but so true and so comforting.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall make your paths straight. Proverbs 3v5-6

Please have a look at the other creations on SALT, they are so inspiring.

Last weekend was busy, we had a thanksgiving service for Ethan and Jadon, and my mum and dad, and aunt and uncle were visiting. My aunt is my mum's youngest sister and they live in Australia, the last time I saw them I was 14!

I didn't take lots of pics so I'm hoping they'll email me some.

SALT Forgiveness

Kim S set the theme this week, here is an except of what she says on the SALT blog

Many people would state that they don't need forgiveness and yet, when we compare our every day acts against that of Christ, a sinless man, we are able to see our utter hopelessness of ever being worthy or "good" enough to receive the gift of everlasting life. Praise God, He sent a Savior who can forgive even the worse sinner and create in us a clean heart. "Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down...."

I was searching a verse that conveyed this them for me, and I came across Psalm 51, it reminded me of a time when I had disobeyed God and was feeling far from him and quite guilty, this verse helped to restore me and reassure me of God's forgiveness. Praise HIM!

I have also recently been inspired by some beautiful European blogs, Bibbi and Flo's .
