Grateful

Today I'm just grateful. Grateful for: a beautiful day, a wonderful husband, awesome children, amazing friends, my home, the privilege of homeschooling my children, the fact that I can wear sweats to 'work', creativity, music, my 5 senses, good food, coffee (yes, definitely, coffee), babies, laughter, modern conveniences, and most especially, for the Lord and His gift of salvation, free for the taking!

Eternal Life

The Lord is in His holy Temple; let all the earth be silent before Him! Habakkuk 2:20

Salvation is found in NO ONE ELSE, for there is no other Name (Jesus) under heaven given by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

For God so loved the world that He gave is One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of God's One and Only Son. John 3:16-18

If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame." Romans 10:9-11

For it is by GRACE you have been saved through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast! Ephesians 2:8-9
