"we were made to live for so much more"

I had a good day today.


I'm so thankful. Today was so nice. We had no plans tonight, no meetings- it was just us.


I even had a chance to sit and read with a nice cup of peach tea. I stumbled across this book 'Seeing and Savoring Jesus' by John Piper.
A random quote from the book 


We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world.
That is all for today. I just wanted to post something today. To have the memory that God chose to be merciful today by giving me a  simple one. I sure needed it.
