Reason no. 352...

Yesterday I finished my book: Elizabeth is missing. It was definitely a good piece of fiction. It definitely highlighted what living with dementia is like. The reader sees a constant stream of thoughts. She'll be mid-conversation with someone and forget what they're talking about. We see the confusion she feels. Yet we also see how people respond to dementia in the family. We see people who respond well and some who definitely don't handle dementia very well. It definitely requires a lot of patience to work with those with dementia. At the same time of highlighting what living with dementia is like, we also see a 60 year old mystery being solved. 
It was a really good read. Reason no. 352 :)

Reason no. 351...

I've done nothing. He's done it all. I was dead. He made me alive. I made no sign of coming to Him. He changed my heart. I was lost. He found me. I was broken. He's made me whole. My life was full of darkness, sin and shame. His light broke in. His death dealt with my sin. He washed away every transgression - as far as the east is from the west. He's forgiven me. I am loved by Him. How could I not be amazed by Him? Reason no. 351 :)

Today I heard some stories about what God's doing in Turkey. It's amazing how God places different talents and skills in people and uses them for His glory! God's using creative minded people: singers and dancers to reach Muslim populations :) Reason no. 348 :)

'Let's not be stingy on forgiveness. It has power to break cycles and bring joy like nothing else. For you and the person you're forgiving.'
