Praise to the Lord from Whom All Blessings Flow

IMG_1521Life isn’t fair.

It isn’t fair that God created this full, beautiful earth and sent us here to love, laugh, learn, work play; to ache, mourn, fail, to go astray.

And it isn’t fair that God sent His Only Begotten to be whipped and scorned and crucified for our sins.

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Cor. 9:15

May your hearts and homes be blessed on this Thanksgiving Day.

    Life isn’t fair, but it sure is beautiful. Giving thanks is part of the beauty and bounty.

    My dad reminds me often that we “shouted for joy” in the pre-existence at the chance to come to earth and experience… everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. Life is not fair and we should emphasize that to our children or else they’ll be perpetually surprised when its not!
