necessity and sufficiency?

"Hij maakt zoet wat bitter is" (He makes sweet that which is bitter) - a.f. troost. alluding to the story of the isrealites in the desert who complained about their thirst, not asking (nor even thinking about asking) God for help. but the gracious God that He is, made the water at Mara sweet. so also He provides us, despite our complaints, with even more than we c(w)ould ask for: the living water [Exodus 15] how can we ever be thankful enough for such grace, or even the 'simplest' daily blessings?

it was absolutely gorgeous outside today. i was also pretty restless - something that was easily attacked by vigoursly cleaning the kitchen this afternoon. then i 'rewarded' myself with a new episode of supernatural, and got some study time in. now i am pondering religious intolerance in europe and the ottoman empire and thinking of running for some strange reason. pretty sad situation for a friday night. no excuses.

"and where the answers won't come around i blame myself for being me again"
song: di-rect ft. wibi soejardi - blind for you (if only for the piano play)
