Begin anew in His love
|
Lamentations 3:21-24 His mercies are new every morning! Great is Thy faithfulness! I rejoice that His mercies are new every morning I awake. I need His strength to get through the day. He renews my soul. He is so faithful and unchanging. I rest in His steadfastness. Can any one ever doubt? He makes the sun to rise and set on every face. I bask in the warmth of His love and care. At the end of the day, He stills my heart and washes my cares away as I leave the day in sweet communion with Him. I repent that I awake with a troubled mind. His Spirit comforts me. Today, I begin a new chapter in my life. A blogging chapter. My oldest daughter gets married in two weeks. Am I really that old? My son graduated from Basic Training and finished AIT at Fort Jackson in August. He will continue his college education in January. My other two girls continue homeschooling with me. I love it! I have taken a job as a librarian at the county library in order to help out our family financially. I like the job and work with a wonderful Christian lady named Janet (one of my favorite names - I always seem to get along so well with folks named Janet). I met lots of nice folks at the library today. We are decorating for Christmas. The little town is all decorated and carols play as you stroll the sidewalks. The parade will be this weekend, with chidren's choirs and a tree lighting at the end! I love small towns. As my husband looks towards retirement from the Army in a year or two... he reflects often of where he has been and where he is going. I think it must be a 'man' thing. It seems very important to him to be successful and make an impact. He doesn't realize that he does that without even leaving our home. His impression on our children is a blessing. The love we share is a strong bond between us. I wish he could know that what he does in the hearts and minds of our little ones is enough to change the world! |
