Life Lessons
This was encouraging to my heart this morning...
J. R. Miller, "In Green Pastures"
"Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart." Matthew 11:29
We all fail in the life-lessons which our great
Teacher sets for us. The hardest school-tasks are
easily mastered--in comparison with the lessons of:
patience,
sweet temper,
forgiveness,
unselfishness,
gentleness,
humility,
purity,
contentment.
Even at best--we can learn these lessons but slowly.
And though but little seems to come from our yearnings
and strugglings after Christ-likeness--yet God honors the
yearning and the striving. While we sit in the shadows of
weariness, disheartened with our failures--He carries on
the work within us, and with His own hands produces
the divine beauty in our souls.

I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.
