I began reading The One Year Chronological Bible in August of this year. I wish I could tell you I started reading it in January, but I can't. I purchased it in October 2010 and have not yet read through an entire year, but I have hope. Could 2013 be the year?
On December 6th I read, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)
We are God's masterpiece? I've never seen that before but let me tell you that it made my day!
I shared the scripture with my co-workers, Wonderful Husband, Diane, and my new Bible Study buddies.
1066 - 1080 beyond my list of One Thousand Gifts. I thank God for:
1066. hearing that we're His masterpiece
1067. an outing to Peddler's Village with Wonderful Husband

1071. a bowl of hot crab soup on a brisk day, only 2 small pieces of shell included. Ack!

1073. communion. In remembrance of Christ.
1074. another visit to the orthodontist, my braces will definitely come off in 2013
1075. a telephone conversation with Melanie while she was Christmas decorating for an upcoming jewelry party. She's a great multi-tasker!
1076. mailing prayer and love filled cards to our niece-in-law and my sister-in-law. Praying for comfort on the third year anniversary of our nephew's death.
1077. hearing an encouraging update on Diane's healing leg
After hearing about the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy....

"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
