Single Parenting

Where to start. When my children grew up we all had a rough life. I did not know how to be a parent for one, my life in general was a mess and with much regret did not have much to offer to my children in reality of hope. I ran out of that years before I had children. Just going through life cause it was there. When I was raising my children I can remember the sweet moments with them and wanted to hold on to that forever. Not knowing who our maker was. I always wondered will I ever find the right husband who could love the children who could love me and who could I love. I always questioned those things. Thinking how could my children ever grow up and get what they needed without somebody other than me. It seems though My Father had a plan long before I knew about it even. Back in 1996 I came to meet God's people. Wow. I knew they had something I had no clue about. Everything I could have thought I knew about who God was went out the window. I am glad for that. I was a beggar that had empty pockets not a thing to offer . Since then I am glad that coming to know , see and feel who God really is , still a long way to go though is more than I could wish for. Though things are going rough with my children I could not ask for a better Father to care for them, though sometimes it is hard to see that He is loving them. Today we had a baby blessing for Allison, Abby played a song and at one point Hannah got on the floor to put her arm around Janelle. I felt it was my cue to give Allison my gift of telling her that your little girl will not ever grow to big for you to hug , hold and to treasure and don't let today go. We do pray for our children, not just mine but our all children.Praise God that My Father can do everything that I could not do. No husband I could have picked could do what He can and will do. Show us parents how to be parents. Servants that Love our God cause of His Love for us. It was a very sweet baby blessing today. Thank you Father for Loving us.

Under Snow

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at ...

John The Babtist Thoughts

Hi again. It is interesting how Shammah was talking about John at the same time that Amy Carmichael thought of him. She brought out when John sent the disiples to Jesus to ask Him if He is the one or not? His response for them to go back and tell John what they have seen and heard. John must have been so encouraged. Luke 7:22-23 Go your way, and tell John.... Before they got to the end of the mighty things they were to tell him, John's heart must have kindled with new hope: My Lord can do all that, He is doing all that, He is ominipotent. He is my loving Lord, and He is very near. He who is doing all these things will do great things for me. I shall soon be free- He who is opening the prison doors of death will open my prison door. Can you not hear him say it, or least feel him think it, as he listens to all the things His Lord can, and has done. And then instead of a promise and quick help, " Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended with Me"- Matt 11:6 and that ...
