Counting Endlessly - #826 - #842

Romans 8:35-37 - Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.



826.  Celebrating husband love's birthday
827.  husband love's joy in getting to say things to the boys that he's always wanted to say. 
828.  the wee one love announcing that he would like to have a bracchiosaurus in our backyard as a pet
829.  the older one love logically suggests that we should really get a diploducus because they have longer necks.  This is a good idea because then the diploducus could take care of our really tall pine tree in the back yard (probably the tallest one in the subdivision).
830.  the roar of the ocean waves
831.  the adventure created by a state park ranger at Ft. Clinch
832.  the wonder of the older boy love as he lifts 538 lbs. using a lever and pulley system.
833.  the pure joy of the boys splashing in the ocean, jumping waves, just taking it all in
834.  the fun had with aunt and uncle at their campsite cooking hot dogs over an open fire and eating them in their air-conditioned camper (my kind of camping!)
835.  God's natural beauty - canapy roads, beaches, baby birds and blue skies for miles
836.  the older boy love understanding more about God's truth, the enemy's lies, how he hears both voices and how to make the best choice.
837.  the study of the book of Philippians
838.  the joy and sorrow lived out by her - http://www.newspring.cc/stories/mandy-smith/
839.  anticipation of time with the Lover of my Soul at the Ladies Retreat
840.  playing with my boys - whether it's football or potato head or farmer ted
841.  new clients that are sisters in Christ
842.  a battle won by remembering the truth!
