Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

I love reading C.S.Lewis's books. He is such a genius, and I am so glad he penned all his ideas and thoughts. Mere Christianity is a beautiful work and having read it once before quite a long time ago, I thought I might take it up again.

In the first chapter, "The Law of Human Nature" he concludes by making two points.
"First, that human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it.
Secondly, that they do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature;(what Right and Wrong are) they break it. These two facts are the foundations of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in."

Yesterday was my youngest daughter's birthday! She turned into the big 10!! Allthough she is under the weather a bit we still had a wonderful time. She wanted a brownie cake!!! and I made it for her. It is so wonderful to see my little one is growing up so well. Thankyou Lord! I can see her personality blooming, she being herself just the way the Lord wants her to be.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS, DARLING PRINCESS"

"Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones,

Give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord, the glory due to His name;

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."

Psalm 29:1,2

WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! MY PRECIOUS DARLING PRINCESS!!!

Jauary is a birthday celebration month in our family. All my precious gifts were born in Jauary. And what's even more interesting is they are all within the same week!! It had been a funfilled time when my children were young and has continued to be funner even as they get older.
My daughter has turned into a teenaager!!!Yeah!!I am so excited to experience the fun and challenges of teenage life!!

I will praise you, O lord,

with my whole heart;

I will tell of all your marvelous works.

Psalm 9:1

WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! MY MOST PRECIOUS DARLING SON!!!!!

My son turns 12 today. He's been waiting for this day since his sister turned 12! It's big day for him, he will be enjoying a lot of privileges and in our home responsibility goes hand in hand with it. I am so thankful to our good Lord for blessing my husband and me with our most precious son. It is such a joy watching him grow everyday and fulfill the purposes our good Lord has for him. He loves tandoori chicken and I am going to surprise him by making it today. He has no clue and it's even more fun that way!!

Here's the recipe if you would like to try it sometime-

Ingridients-

Chicken legs, Ginger Paste, Garlic Paste, Yogurt, Lemon juice a tsp, salt to taste, Tandoori masala(can be purchased at any Indian store)

Preparation-

Make slits in the chicken legs with a knife. Marinate with all the ingredients for a couple of hours. The amount of the spices can be adjusted according to how spicy you want it. I usually make it mild, if you would like it a little more spicy you can add more of the masala. Now grill or bake chicken covered with a foil and during the end when it's almost done uncover for a few minutes. That way the chicken is nice and juicy. Also add a little butter and lemon juice and baste before taking the chicken out. Bon Appetit!!

O Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is your name in all the earth.

Who have set your glory above all the heavens.

Psalms 8:1

Gloomy sky

Today we had no sun. It was a pretty gloomy sky and I was starving for color all around me. I see that without the sun there is no hope for much color either...everything is sort of a grey color, even the evergreens appear sort of a greyish green. One thought that came to me was "This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Wow! that view really made me smile. I am so glad our Lord made this day. I just love Him so so much. I just can't wait to see His face!

"As the deer pants for streams of water,

So my soul pants for you, O God."

Psalms 42:1

I am so glad to be alive and be a part of the year 2008. I wonder what all wonderful things the Lord has in store for us this year. One thing we can be sure of is, no matter what the circumstances we will be in, and all of us will be in different situations of life, our good Lord is with us. I have asked the Lord to give me the abilities to teach my children more about our Lord, through his Word. During the holidays my hands were full and was unable to get to my blog and I would like to take this time to wish you all a BLESSED NEW YEAR.


I would like to share a verse that really motivated me-

"And these words which I command you

today shall be in your heart.

You shall teach them diligently to your

children, and shall talk of them

when you sit in your house,

when you walk by the way,

when you lie down,

and when you rise up."

Deuteronomy 6:6,7
