June

So when I went to Mardel's bookstore Friday they had a tremendous amount of sales. I spent about $70.00 there, and got a lot with my money. It was probably the best $70.00 I have spent in a year! I bought this day by day for the year "inspirational thoughts" for each day that only cost me $6.00, because it was on the half off table when you first walk in along with most other books that I bought at Mardel's! I love that this day by day inspirational book doesn't say it's a devotional. I think that it is quite fascinating that the first page in this book says "inspirational thoughts for each day of the year." Well the title of this "devotional" is Grace For The Moment, and God is grace so I love it. I've been reading it every day since I bought it, and I think it's so much easier for me to read it each day because it is giving me "inspiration" of God, rather than making it seem like a tasky daily devotional that I must do before doing anything else, you know what I mean?

Since today is the month of June the first page that says "June," before the June
1st inspirational thought page, stood out to me. It has a black & white picture of leaves on some branches and the background is blurred out. I'd say that the picture looks somewhat depressing, but the verse that goes with it is outstanding! 2 Corinthians 4:18 says "What we see will last only a short time, but what we cannot see will last forever." Maybe that's why the leaves in the picture seem to be white, because the color doesn't last forever. Maybe that's why black and white photos seem to be so intriguing.

Just thought I'd put that out there!

Today is going to be a great day, because God has invited me to be with Him.
