Little Talks

Today I've gone with a bookish quotation: It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada (so happy thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends!). The sad thing this year is that the long weekend feels less like a holiday and more like a series of family get-together a and a chance to take time off of work. I've completely forgotten the spirit of the holiday, and this quotation really inspired me. We need to remember every day that being grateful for what we have is what brings joy. This week, let's all try to have appositive attitude.

Sorry to only be posting once a week, but I am swamped in school work. Over the last week or two, I've been learning a lot about how much God loves us, and how we really just need to spend our time with Him, really trying to develop a relationship with Him. I'm at that stage in my life when I want someone to share my future with, to spend my life with. Honestly, I haven't ever had a boyfriend (even though I'm now 20).

I would like to spend more time with God tonight while I'm still up, so I'll keep this post brief. While reading Matthew 6 I thought I would just pick out a verse to share with you all, but so many of them spoke to me, and I think that they are things that a lot of you need to hear too, so I have several for today. But if you get the chance, just go read the whole chapter for yourself. Looks like over the past couple of weeks my blogs didn't actually post. Sorry friends!
