is good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones...(prov 17:22)
From my walk down the road this morning...
On my walk, happy because my legs work, and the weather is stellar, and mostly because I decided to trust God.
When you have lots of kids, it isn't likely that all of them are having easy, trial-free days at the same time. And sometimes, the poop just seems to hit the fan in large loads, leaving mom to wonder What The H? (heck, of course.)
It seems easy in retrospect, to trust God and accept the children, sweet baby after sweet baby...then they grow up...and my heart is entwined right in theirs, I love them more than ever...and whatever muck they step in, well, it gets my feet dirty too.
But I cannot, and will not, let my heart be troubled by their trials! I will remain steadfast in faith, that God causes all things to work together for the good for those who love him. What good am I to my children if I lose heart?
Emily's here, and I am not ready to leave...bye for now.
