They are our closest "neighbors with needs"--which is the most beautiful sight in the world. (Someone I can give to.) What a privilege. Glad you visited.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386439534540061869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494096770351605852.post-49830655053439196792012-12-27T07:57:36.950-08:002012-12-27T07:57:36.950-08:001 Pet 5:2-4 "Care for the FLOCK God has entru...1 Pet 5:2-4 "Care for the FLOCK God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. DON'T LORD IT OVER THE PEOPLE ASSIGNED TO YOUR CARE, but LEAD them by your OWN GOOD EXAMPLE. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the CROWN OF GLORY that does not fade away."<br /><br />Matt 5:19 Jesus says, "If you ignore the least Commandment and Teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who OBEYS GOD'S LAWS & TEACHES them will be called GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233222209033046533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494096770351605852.post-79194018080771868522012-12-18T12:47:46.138-08:002012-12-18T12:47:46.138-08:00"It doesn't matter whether you have one c..."It doesn't matter whether you have one child, or three, or ten, or none! It's never easy." That is so true. I can remember times being completely at my wits' end with just one beautiful, tiny new baby, every bit as much as with eleven children. Like Psalm 107 says, He brings us to wits' end in order to bring us to crying out to Him. Love the painting.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386439534540061869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494096770351605852.post-85036631542752356412012-12-17T15:16:01.220-08:002012-12-17T15:16:01.220-08:00"I'm not even good at receiving his mercy..."I'm not even good at receiving his mercy" amen. Glad His mercy is new again for that! I love the painting you posted, the exhausted mother over her peacefully sleeping child. I'm sure we can all relate, and thank God for our children.Mary Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664614844565751599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494096770351605852.post-18425811890433737562012-12-17T14:04:26.651-08:002012-12-17T14:04:26.651-08:00Thank you again.
