Starting Out Right

Your Love is Strong
Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father, you always amaze me
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through today
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
The kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Your Love Is Strong - Jon Foreman

Dear Lord

Thank You for:

A great day at work. A good workout at the gym. Ground beef (not to be mistaken for my hunk of a husband, whom I also thank You for), caramelized onions, blue cheese, spinach, and Tabasco sauce. And finally...

Ree Drummond (also known as The Pioneer Woman) without whom I could not have been so divinely inspired during meal planning this week (and every week, for that matter).

This was our dinner tonight (aren't you proud, I took a picture!):

and it was nothing short of amazing. Spectacular. Fantastic. Delicious. Superb. Wonderful. Fabulous. Memorable. You get the picture.

Cliff even let me put the blue cheese on his, too, and he LOVED it!

So thank you, Lord, and thank you, Ree, as always.
