This has been a wonderful year for our family---
with too many wonderful memories to recount!!
But at the years end, I find myself weeping. Longing. Praying.
My heart aches deeply for the many around me who are suffering,
sorrows so crushing, to big to even breathe.
And I wonder and ask, "Am I living as I should?"
Pressing pressure---
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
My heart aches deeply for the many around me who are suffering,sorrows so crushing, to big to even breathe.
And I wonder and ask, "Am I living as I should?"Am I praying enough?
Am I showing my children a passion for God---
or a passion for my new sewing machine---or the computer?
Is it the Bible whose words soak my soul,
or yet another blog, and another--
until my time is gone?
Pressing pressure---
the responsibility for training and teaching and
guiding 4 young souls---
I can't believe that God choses such unfit ones as us to shepherd
and shape these hearts.
Please Lord, give grace to us----we need it so!
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12

I can't believe that God choses such unfit ones as us to shepherd
and shape these hearts.
humbling.
Your winter pics are beautiful.
HI there - I just came upon your blog after reading about your shower presents on TreeFall...I just want to say..this post really touched (and convicted) me!! I think I'm showing my kids I love the computer and my sewing machine (but mostly computer) more than I love Jesus..which is so wrong. Thanks for giving me a fresh look!! I pray you have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing this!
