November . . .2019 . It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! Always for me it comes with the hope of snow! As you can see, this journal entry was in December of 2008 and I’m sure I was hoping for snow! I don’t pray seriously for snow but I always feel that it is a gift to me when it happens!! To me this entry was another confirmation that God loves us so deeply. In His wisdom He gives us choices. He is always wise. Always good. Always trustworthy. He always knows what is best for us.

From the journal.     December 2008

I’m reading in 1Tim. 2:13-14 (NIV) For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  And Adam was not the one deceived, it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 

Lord, as I think about this, it seems that Adam was content until Eve listened to the serpent and then he disobeyed You as well. He could have chosen differently, but he didn’t. Lord, did you regret making Eve? 

And I Believe the Lord Said. . .

Did you regret any of your children?

No, of course not.

My children sin and they are sorry.  I give forgiveness and they love.
This world isn’t all that you want it to be.  People have choices and they choose to sin.  They must repent and receive my forgiveness.  Then they will love much. *
 You love that I don’t blot you out of my sight because of your sin.  And that love multiplies because you see more of your wretchedness and more of my righteousness in loving you.
You also  love me because I love you.  You love that I shower my creation on you .  You love the snow but if I gave it to you always you would become so used to it that it wouldn’t delight you like it does now.  

Luke7:47
