Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

My Mother's Birthday

Today would have been my Mother's 77th Birthday! The best thing about this day is knowing that she is no longer suffering. That she is at rest! I miss her, but I grieved for her over the past year because I really lost her to Dementia long before she passed from this earth. I couldn't let her day go by without at least a mention! I will always love her!









My Mothers Hands
Author Unknown
I held her hands in mine last night...
they looked so thin and worn...but they held
mine just as tightly...as the day that I was born.
Those gentle and expressive hands...
etched by work and care...have folded over
my bedside...many times in humble prayer.
They've washed for me...they've fed me...
they've helped me be a woman...There's something
of our Lord, Himself...
In every mother's hand.

    That poem almost made me cry, and I don't almost cry very often.
    Very beautiful.
    Happy Birthday to Laverne, heaven must be heavenly~

    That was very touching! I hope my kids will feel this way about me. And I feel sad about my own grandfather's loss of reality. He still knew me this past summer (he asked me what grade I was in! and I'm 35!), but he might not know me next time I get to TN. Thanks for sharing!
