Newness!

New. I like new. New shoes, new clothes, new babies (especially new babies), New paper, a new notebook is even better, a new pencil, the site of new pencils/pencil crayons, new recipes, new people, new friends, a new book, trying new things, ect. the list could go on and on. But just because something is new doesn't mean its new! Lol! I guess almost all things are like that. you go shopping at a thrift store and you find something that you like and it is new...to you! You can take something old and give it a new purpose and  it is new! you go to
Wal-mart and you try something on or you may buy it, it may be new but then again maybe its not (not knowing how many people have tried on that shirt, or even bought it but returned it).

A recipe is old thing, but if you are trying it out for the first time it is new. That is one thing I really like, trying new recipes. I have always loved doing it! This year I have found new recipes and am having fun trying them out. Today I am trying a new recipe for salsa! It is very different from the recipe I usually use, but it has turned out so well and is sooo yummy!

Come to think about it our relationship with the Lord is like that! It is not a new thing. It has been around for thousands of years, but to each person it is something new, and continues to be new. What I mean is as we walk closer to Him, and grow, each step is one we have never taken before, so therefore its new.
God's Mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Sometimes my mind barely touches that truth and it blows me away!

these are just some of my thoughts, as I was cleaning up from my salsa making, and thought I would take a moment and share them with you all!

I would love to hear what you all think!

Blessings!
