I’m thankful that my hair is finally growing long where I lost it after having my second child. Hair is such a blessing, and you don’t realise it til it’s gone. I’m thankful for it just the way it is, no more wishing it was more this or less that. I’m thankful it’s mine and I’m thankful I have it!

Beautiful sunshine mornings! It’s impossible not to be thankful but so important to remember!

The transformative and restorative power of the gospel. I’m currently partaking in the Freedom in Christ course, and am revelling in re-learning so many beautiful spiritual truths. My favourite, and one of the most fundamental, is that, when we are IN CHRIST, we are no longer sinners, but saints. Saints who sometimes sin. That’s like being spotlessly clean but putting on a dirty coat. The coat, or, in this allegory, our sin, doesn’t change who we are – spotlessly clean – and we can take it off thanks to the saving work of Christ on the cross. So much of our lives is spent living like we are still sinners, but Christ tells us we don’t need to – he says “I’ve made you holy, now ACT holy!”
Thank you Jesus for your work on the cross that we can be made free and whole, and wholly holy!
