gone puritan

Two things:

1. We have had some beautiful days here in Denver recently and today Michelle taught me the "lion and lamb" March myth that I apparently never learned in school cause I didn't grow up with snow.  Since this March has started off with warm "lamb" weather, it will allegedly end as a "lion" with lots of snow and cold. I'm hoping that myth is wrong this year!

In Breckenridge right before my birthday- hopefully my last look at snow for a the year!

2. I had a lazy morning curled up in our bed reading and I thought I'd share my literature with you :)  Adam and I both love reading this old collection of Puritan prayers called the Valley of Vision.  Here was part of the prayer  I read this morning that felt really timely in my life today.  Hope it encourages you! 

  

God the Source of All Good

and communicated happiness;

Thou hast made me what I am, and given me what I have;

In thee I live and move and have my being;

Thy providence has set the bounds of my habitation,

and wisely administers all my affairs.

I thank thee for thy riches to me in Jesus,

for the unclouded revelation of Him in thy Word,

where I behold his Person, character, grace, glory,

humiliation, sufferings, death, and resurrection;...
