Love

Isaiah 43:4 states:
                  "You are precious to me and honored. And I love you."
                                                                          Loving words from a loving God!

There is RADIANCE in a woman who knows how priceless she is to God.

You are loved!

Oats or grass...

Today I went to see the horses.
                             I offered them oats.
                                                     There was a puddle between the horses and the oats.
                                                                                                                       They chose to eat grass.

It made me think of God...
                                He offers me oats...
                                                     I choose to eat grass.

Lord help me to see and accept your good and gracious gifts.   ~ Amen

Rain and Rainbows

It has been raining here...
                         ...and raining....
                                       ...and raining...
                                                    ...and raining...
 My oldest daughter was complaining to her younger sister about all the rain.  
The younger offered a bit of perspective when she said:

                             "If we didn't have rain, we wouldn't have rainbows!"
  
                                                                              AMEN ~ Have a great week! 

Healing Hurts

My husband recently tore his achilles tendon.  It has been a long three month process of healing...
                                  ...lots of pain
                                            ....inability to do what he did before
                                                      ...no easy way to make it "better"
The process of physically healing is slow and painful, as it is with our hearts! 

Often when we can't heal an emotional wound or broken relationship quickly, we give up.  Never give up!!!  Emotional healing is slow, steady and often painful - if you rush it - just like a physical wound it can break open again.

Let go of control - Give it to God - Let Him heal you!  :)

It Ain't Always Easy!

I remember when I was a little girl and I got sick...I hated the taste of my medicine!!! 
There I was kicking and screaming, literally having to be pinned down to get me to drink it....
                                                 I fought what would make me well.

Here I am as an adult...knowing what will heal the wounds of my heart (grace and forgiveness) and fighting as hard as I can not to do it. 

They say hindsight is 20/20.  When I was little, all I cared about was how bad the medicine tasted; I did not understand that the healing it would bring would be worth the temporary discomfort of the bad taste.

Life ain't always easy...grace and forgiveness come with a decided effort...that is ALWAYS worth it!  :)


Lord, help us to extend grace, forgiveness and love.  Amen
