Yes, I am truly blessed that in the midst of all my responsibilities there is time for God --- and in fact it fits into my schedule rather neatly! I certainly could have not predicted the present stage of my life, and if it were foreseeable I might have been praying to "take this cup from me." But I know it is a blessing, my life now. <br /><br />Growing in faith and wisdom IS a growing thing. I worry about our country and the self-confidence and egos of the younger people, concerned mainly about themselves, and the happiness they can never seem to quite achieve. I pray that they too grow in faith and wisdom, and then I trust in Him.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-50787104603177503432012-12-02T16:47:12.453-05:002012-12-02T16:47:12.453-05:00You are truly blessed to be able to spend quality ...You are truly blessed to be able to spend quality time in the presence of God in His House. You have chosen well. You're fully aware that God is the source of your happiness, and not an ogre preventing your happiness. It's such a tremendous gift to have learned that every single experience of our lives is a seed of happiness because everything comes to us from the good God for the good of our souls. That is a huge prize, and WE WON!Maryellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377453351113353957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-79415410790720638382012-12-01T11:39:31.685-05:002012-12-01T11:39:31.685-05:00I never cease to be amazed at those who speak of G...I never cease to be amazed at those who speak of God as if He were some ogre, preventing us from happiness. They don't understand that Jesus opened the door to our happiness, and all we have to do is choose to enter. They don't understand, and I don't understand them. It just makes me sad sometimes. But then I think of wonderful people like you, and I smile!! ;-)Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-81492378261198191442012-12-01T08:30:14.618-05:002012-12-01T08:30:14.618-05:00this was just lovely ... truly. and i love your mo...this was just lovely ... truly. and i love your mom's words that "the door's open". have a blessed weekend.Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-30874654796607507502012-11-29T17:48:27.373-05:002012-11-29T17:48:27.373-05:00Beautiful!Beautiful!Julie Cragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040495946170037805noreply@blogger.com
