Approaching God
It used to bother me that the closer I drew to God in my walk with Him, the more sinful I felt. Then a phenomenon I observed in my room enlightened me. A tiny gap in the curtain covering my window threw a ray of light into the room. As I looked, I saw particles of dirt drifting in the beam. Without the ray of light, the room seemed clean, but the light revealed the dirty particles.
What I observed shed light on my spiritual life. The closer I approach the Lord of light, the clearer I see myself. When the light of Christ shines in the darkness of our lives, it exposes our sinnot to discourage us, but to humble us to trust in Him. We cant depend on our own righteousness, since we are sinners and fall short of Gods standards (Rom. 3:23). When we are proud, the light reveals our heart and we cry as Isaiah did, Woe to me! . . . For I am a man of unclean lips, . . . and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty (Isa. 6:5 niv).
God is absolutely perfect in every way. Approaching Him calls for humility and childlike trust, not self-importance and pride. For it is by grace that He draws us to Himself. It is good for us that we feel unworthy as we draw closer to God, for it humbles us to rely on Him alone.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holythere is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity. Heber
There is no room for pride when we walk with God.
: This passage recounts the call of Isaiah to a long and difficult prophetic ministry spanning the reigns of four kings (740681 bc). Isaiah was not the only one in Scripture who viewed himself as too sinful to be in Gods presence (6:5). Peter, when called to be an apostle, cried out, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord! (Luke 5:8). The tax collector in Luke 18:13 demonstrated a similar humility and recognition of personal sin.

The Snow Queen
The Snow Queen passed our way last night,
Between the darkness and the light,
And flowers from an enchanted star,
Fell showerlike from her flying car.
And silently through all the hours,
The trees have borne their magic flowers,
And now stand up with dauntless head,
To catch the morning's gold and red.
Dollie Redford

Happy Caterday and Bunnieday!

What beautiful dogs! Boston is really a mess. The poor people who live and work there are having a very bad time of it.

Yes. I thank God my sister and her hubby live upstairs from my mom in the same house.
It’s really beyond anything they have ever experienced there, including the Great Blizzard of ‘78.

Yes, it’s a very good thing that your mom has your sister and her husband there. This may be the worst winter on record.
