ReplyDeleteI picked the refining process, too. Not easy, that's for sure. But pure gold???? I like the thought of being pure gold. I don't think the process of anything is that great of a thing, but I'm telling you, learning how to give thanks and see all our blessings sure makes the journey a little more wonderful! Thanks for your list today. It was great to have been here! (And I LOVE your blog background!)
ReplyDeleteI’m here from Ann’s.
ReplyDeleteAnd of your list this week, this is my favorite: 472. Knowing that I'm being refined and enduring the discomfort of the process with the end in mind. (Because it is refinement. There is a God and there is refinement going on - always. And there are enemies of God who will mess with - just because we're His - and he'll use that too - If we let him - if.I.let.him.) Thank you. I needed this today.
God bless you and keep you – and all of yours.
Haircut -- yes!!! A good haircut is so wonderful! I just got one a couple weeks ago! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list - I enjoyed reading it! :)
