Righteousness

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in him
 we might become the righteousness of God."
2 Corinthians 5:21
Abby (13) Luke (9) At LaPaz eating dinner after haircuts
Hello! Just a short and sweet post tonight as I finish up another day! I laugh at my domestice bliss this week in yet another post, night two of "family dinner around the table" at a restaurant...smile! But hey, we ate together, at the table. And last night I cooked Abby's favorite (Alice's too, who was over to eat with us) Chicken Fried Rice...yum! Tonight's choice was out of convenience and because our favorite tex-mex place is close to the hair salon and it's just a great excuse to eat there. 

 Anyway, I really just had to show the snapshot of Luke's new haircut the "swoosh". He has the prettiest thickest hair and we were at "Angel Hair" forever (he will be glad to tell you it felt like forty-five minutes, hmm every bit of thirty!!!). How ironic that Abby's new t-shirt says swoosh, just realized that, love it!! Am I randomly typing tonight or what? Actually this is how I talk so it's accurate. I notice details and connections. I include it in my writing and I love it when people get that. Most don't and I understand that too. I am forty now so I really don't care what others think...haha! I better get some shut eye or start writing my post when I wake up with the chickens........

Tonight, my closing thought is this ....Look at our verse for today, 2 Corinthians 5:21. Read it again. Now, notice

it begins with


GOD

it ends with

Isn't that amazing? So is He. God, Our Heavenly Father is so amazing that He "made him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us,
so that in him
 we might become the righteousness of God."


Everything begins and ends with Jesus Christ our Lord.

Blessings, Suzanne

    Hi Suzanne!
    What great-looking children! And dinner around a table anywhere is a good thing - especially Tex Mex. That's my personal fave. :)I love it that you get connections - that's how you see God's "hand" in things - and sometimes it just blows you away! Love it when that happens.

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my
