A Mom Just Like You.....My Journey through Life with 8 Children....

• Sep. 25, 2008 - Sunset, Sunrises and Contrite Hearts.......

Sunsets, Sunrises and Contrite Hearts........ At the end of the day when all is said and done, I look out at the skies that the Savior has given to everyone.  The beautiful colored orange skies can settle an anxious heart.  I cannot help but thank the Lord for the joy that fills my heart.  His sunsets are a small reminder that he loves me and truly cares.  And whatever may of happened that day He never allowed more than I could bear. The silhouetted hills remind me how the day is coming to end and how the night is about to start.  It is then that I remember I have been given another start.  Another opportunity to seek my Saviors heart by asking for His wisdom with an open and contrite heart. As I look out into the distance beholding the miles and miles of beauty.  My heart can't help but grow closer and closer to my precious Lord His truly. Then I take the time to stop and look before my eyes.  No longer peering out into the distance, that my eyes were once able to see.  My heart feels so warm inside, because of the suns beauty.  It's rays that shine, have taken the time to stretch out across the sky.  They peer at me through the leaves upon the trees as my heart can't help but wonder why.  And I know that in my heart His beautiful creation only brings me closer to Him.  So I know that when my Lord stops to look within my heart, a love for Him and all His beauty is exactly what He will see within. When the night is over and a new day begins. I awake to a new sunrise that I know is from Him. I cannot help but realize the smart thing to do.  Is to graciously accept this wonderful new day as His precious gift meant for both me and you. So why does it seem so hard to choose and decide which road I will take.  My heart desires to stay on the straight and narrow completely for His names sake.  Doing the right thing is not always easy to do.  Because I am still flesh and blood and just another sinner like the rest of you. When I take the path that seems greener to me it does not always make me a winner.  Because if the path is not what God had intended for me to take it means I will only grow more into a sinner So with each and every day I need to make the right choices.  Grower closer to God means following His direction and tuning out all the wrong voices.  My heart belongs to you oh Lord, I know you know my heart.  But because I am a sinner each day I need to begin with a new start.  My souls cry, to you oh Lord, is that you teach me all your ways. Help me to grow more and more in your likeness with each and every new day!  Dearest Lord, May you fill my heart always with your love, direction and wisdom. Keep me pliable, obedient and genuinie in my heart to you.  With each and every moment my heart wants to always stay true!  I praise you and I thank you for all you do!  Thank you dear Lord Jesus for loving me as you do!  In Jesus name I pray!  Amen~
