Today...

Today, on the morning of our yard sale to raise money to adopt Sam, I thought my daily devotional was very appropriate. From "Grace for the Moment" by Max Lucado for April 27...
Psalm 139:13 "You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother's body."
In my closet hangs a sweater that I seldom wear. It is too small...I should throw that sweater away...But love won't let me...It's the creation of a devoted mother expressing her love...Each strand was chosen with care. Each thread was selected with affection...It is valuable not because of ts function, but because of its maker. That must have been what the psalmist had in mind when he wrote, "you knit me together in my mother's womb." Think on those words. You were knitted together. You aren't an accident. You weren't mass-produced. You aren't an assembly line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on this earth by the Master Craftsman...In a system that ranks the value of a human by the figures of his salary or the shape of her legs...let me tell you something: Jesus' plan is a reason for joy!
