Hobbies to the Glory of God (Tim Challies) – Love this!! “I believe that it is God himself who makes each of us enthusiastic for different interests and activities. We can embrace these and have no reason to fear them or be embarrassed by them. We can experience joy—God’s own joy, I think—when we follow this enthusiasm to activities that bring us pleasure and satisfaction.”

No. I wanted to do skin-to-skin with two healthy twins ready to nurse. I did not want to do this with a tiny, sick preemie who would die within hours. I wanted anything but this.”
Three Gifts We Need, But Hate to Receive (Christina Fox) – Always a good reminder that all is grace. “We all like to receive gifts. But we must remember that God doesn’t give gifts like we do. He gives us the gifts we need most of all.”
