sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24
How these words found their way to my inbox, no coincidence I think... I pray and He answers.
In a chapel service Friday morning at KU, the visiting pastor, sporting many black braids and the most beautiful sea blue shirt with black accent designs, shared from the Word. He encouraged us to pray for Power, that God is able and He will use us to make things happen. A marriage can be saved, and another. A young woman can realize that the child in her is no mistake and she can teach that child about God's love. I understood that if I commit to being His, that He may use me for his greater glory.
Forgiveness; we are human and God will work through us, even when we don't know what to do on our own. Where hearts are in the right place, work at it and things will be okay. Apologies, talking, phone calls, effort and we are a team stronger than ever. Not by our own but by His will.
We hugged babies in the toddler room this morning. The littlest brought me his coat (15 mins ahead of schedule) and we went to the rocker. Using the soft fleece coat as a blanket we rocked, and within 10 minutes he was breathing slowly, rhythmically and tucked his little hand by his cheek, a warm pillow on my chest. First noted gift of the day ~ happy toddlers, contented. Next ~ a playful 18 year old, happy to be on the farm, building his snowman with the younger siblings. ~A banner for the Sussex PeeWee Rangers. ~A team who love one another, coaches too! ~Resting Joshua ~Sunday rest for an overwhelmed Mama, feeling thankful (:
... hope to write more again soon. This day is a gift, maybe there will even be time to get back into my newest read "Where Courage Calls" by the wonderful Janette Oke, my first loved author, and her daughter Laurel Oke Logan. That, and Beverly Lewis' "The Confession" movie arrived Friday and we watched together that very evening. Hoping that Michael Landon Jr. will have a hand in yet another film from that series, fingers crossed (; (;
