The key to being holy and unblameable before God is not how many sermons we listen to, how many chapters in God’s Word we read daily, how we dress, or what convictions we hold to. All of these are important, but if “I have not charity, I am nothing.” How is our attitude towards those around us? We can do all “the right things” externally, yet be selfish, arrogant, judgmental, and unloving.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…He hath made every thing beautiful in his time…” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11a
God’s timing is always best, because He is all wisdom and understanding. He sees that which we do not see; He knows all of the details of what surrounds us. Do we trust Him?
I know I’ve shared this verse before, but it does me good to be reminded to spend my day — not just serving, but with GLADNESS. And then the latter half seems to be a key with how to do that — because I can’t sing praise to God and grumble as I work at the same time.
30 Words of Thankfulness
For November, I decided to meditate on 30 words that I’m super thankful for. I shared the first fifteen on Thanksgiving Day. Here are the rest!
It’s past Thanksgiving, but as believers, we should never stop being thankful! What are you thankful for!

Books I read – November 2016
Didn’t I just do October’s post? Wow! November wasn’t a big reading month for me. I’m still in the middle of my book about writing and then a devotional book (so December’s reading diet will be more than just fiction), but here’s what I did get finished…
Click on the covers to read my reviews.
I also had the opportunity to read two books by young, aspiring authors. Since they’re not published yet, I can’t paste a review. 😉 But they were fun stories set in the medieval time.
And now that I said “November wasn’t a big reading month” then listed six books… two of them were novellas, and two of them I mostly read in October and just finished in November. And actually, the last week+ I’ve been fighting a cold, so that gives more reading time. Okay, okay… maybe I’m just making excuses. 😉 I just read more than I thought I read this month. That ever happen to you?
The book I’m currently reading (and will probably finish today as I have three chapters left) is…
So… what did you read last month? What are you hoping to read this month? Any books you’d recommend? (not like my TBR pile isn’t long enough as it is…)
