I enjoy discovering the important things about them…their past, their present and what they hope for in their future.
I even enjoy getting to know the people I’ve never really ‘met,’ but have instead gotten to know through reading about them.
This is especially true reading about the lives of theSaints!
They inspire me, guide me, and in many ways encourage me to do ‘better’ in my own manner of living.
Have you ever ‘met’ someone like that? Who inspires, guides and shows you; through the example of how they live (or have lived) their own life, the way to live your own?
I call these people, in particular these Saints, my IRONMEN as taken from Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Continue reading “Constancy of grace”→
it’s the monday giggles…and these are lovely ones to share.
I see a lot of people
in the world

make me smile,
but you’re different.
You make
my heart smile!
“…for the Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1Sam16:7
For my daughter I sensed that my release of her would be a new “different.” My expectations of the circumstances were different; my preparation would be different. I sensed the difference, but wondered what this new difference would feel like.
And where would God be?
This weekend I found the answer (to both) in the
JOY
that I witnessed
in the difference in her, my darling daughter!
And just how much of Him there already is
reflected in this heart of hers,
which is becoming whole.

“Forty days before an embryo is formed, a heavenly voice calls out—so and so is to marry such and such,” says the Talmud. This has been orchestrated from before you were born. Your souls are partners, matching halves of a single whole. The Talmud describes the search for a spouse as looking for that “lost part” of yourself. -a parable
The Joy of seeing
(how beautiful it is)
that God has indeed made
the half to her completeness.

And what great joy is felt in this new “difference”
as my heart smiles for the two of them
as they prepare to have Him always united with thee.
“A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
