So humbling to remember we aren't owed anything, but have been given everything. After our 3rd miscarriage, I went back and read my journal from our 2nd miscarriage, and I was baffled that I had been able to write the Scripture about the Lord having "dealt bountifully" with me. It's only by God's grace, but I feel I am able to say that again. After having lost so much, God can get us to a place where we really see that He HAS dealt bountifully with us...when we realize all we have has been given graciously. Most of all, His Son Jesus and our salvation.

And every poopy diaper she changed will gather together over her head and shower her with gold and chocolate candies. :) Seriously, very good post. Such a vibrant reminder to keep serving God in the mundane. He prepared our works "beforehand that we should walk in them."

I was worried about us! ;) Tue, 5 Oct 2010 00:21:59 +0000 http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2010/10/ecclesiastes-101.html#IDComment102383927 http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2010/09/dont-call-me-reverend-but-your-highness-is-ok.html#IDComment100190457 I have always thought you were cool, Mark ... which must mean I am not cool. No surprise there, but I am waaaaayy younger than you so I am guessing coolness officially runs out sometime before age 31. :) Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:11:01 +0000 http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2010/09/dont-call-me-reverend-but-your-highness-is-ok.html#IDComment100190457 http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2010/05/look-past-the-surface.html#IDComment77222278 A very timely post for my family. I will definitely share this - you put into words what I wish I could!

Shucks. Thanks, Mark! Great post. Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:05:05 +0000 http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2010/04/hoarders.html#IDComment71154256
