In his most recent sermon, our pastor encouraged everyone to be the "Salt Of The Earth". That same day I read a post by Sarah Bessey, and I'm thinking she spilled some serious salt.
She wrote another uplifting post on her blog, and for me, the post illustrates one way we can be "Salt of the Earth". The older I get the more I appreciate someone who chooses to be grateful. I think there are way too many grumpy people who call themselves "Christ Followers". If the good news has been revealed to us, how can we possibly choose to be ungrateful today?
Excerpts from her blog....
"In praise of early mornings (oh, so early) because I wake up to a quiet house and I slowly work my way upstairs with Maggie in my arms."
"In praise of a morning off from church in favor of, well, a rest"
"In praise of ten thousand reasons and forevermore."
"In praise of taking a breath to stand outside and say hello to God"
"In praise of loose leaf tea and the perfect mug"
"In praise of sandwiches and oranges, of take-out pizza"
"In praise of a husband, working so hard for such long hours"
"In praise of driving alone with the windows down"
"In praise of a quiet house with tinies playing outside and a baby taking her "naps as God and her mother intended"
"In praise of wide open windows and green trees"

I want to join you today "in praise of" our home, children, God's grace and a blessed hope for tomorrow.
