Reminder

A great reminder from Ginger Plowman's book ''Heaven at Home''. She says to remember that being better wives, mothers and homemakers does not make us more worthy of God's love. ''Our acceptance before God is not based on our conformity to human standards or our perfect obedience. Jesus has obeyed in our place and paid the full penalty for our disobedience. There is nothing left, either in terms of obedience or judgment, for us to get credit for. We are not justified on the basis of our successful obedience. We must hold this truth continually before ourselves lest we become prideful in our successes or defeated in our failures. We must have the glorious message of the gospel through the lens which we see all of life''.

I need this constant reminder that I cannot ''do'' anything to add to what Jesus has done. Praise God!!!!!!!!!

Yeay! I love the pictures of Jake. Did you really post this at 5:08AM like the post says? If so, I'm quite impressed. Although, I suppose I could post a post at 5am, but it would not be due to diligence but a night of no sleep holding little Booger. :)
