A good laugh and a good thought

I (Brittany) just stepped out away from Micah...Travis was holding Micah, and Micah made a funny sound that I attributed to a sneeze (he sounds like his mom!)... I looked at Travis and he burst out laughing and said... that didn't come from his mouth! Dad hasn't changed a dirty diaper yet, and I think his time has come. Too bad the batteries are dead on the camera!

I read this recently, and it struck me. Maybe you'll appreciate it too. It's part of a devotion by Charles Spurgeon...

"My grace is sufficient for thee." 2Corinthians 12:9
If none of God's saints were poor and tried, we should not know half so well the consolations of divine grace...
God's grace is illustrated and magnified in the poverty and trials of believers. Saints bear up under every discouragement, believing that all things work together for their good, and that out of apparent evils a real blessing shall ultimately spring—that their God will either work a deliverance for them speedily, or most assuredly support them in the trouble, as long as He is pleased to keep them in it. This patience of the saints proves the power of divine grace...
The master-works of God are those men who stand in the midst of difficulties, stedfast, unmoveable,—"Calm mid the bewildering cry,Confident of victory."He who would glorify his God must set his account upon meeting with many trials. No man can be illustrious before the Lord unless his conflicts be many. If then, yours be a much-tried path, rejoice in it, because you will the better show forth the all-sufficient grace of God. As for His failing you, never dream of it—hate the thought. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.

Have a great night. :)
