The Burgess Clan - Blessings

May. 22, 2006 - Blessings

I just love the way the Lord continues to Bless us. This week he has answered prayer many times with a resounding blessing. This week there were many yes', in regards to healing.

All the things that I am thankful for this morning. I am thankful that The Lord Blessed me with a family that LOVES me, even when I behave unlovely. I am thankful that I have my husband, who is truly my other half that I could not live without. Day in and day out, he keeps encouraging me to be a better wife, a better mother, and all around a better woman, helping me to seek the Lord's council, and reminding me that although my nickname means "perfection" that I am not perfect, nor will I ever be, but that the Lord made me just the way he did for a purpose, and that purpose is to Glorify Him.

I am thankful that I have so many children, and the heck with all the people who keep saying, "You're not going to have anymore, are you?" or "You're finished now right?" Don't they understand that children are all blessings from our GOD. Why are they made out to be a nuisance, why are they a hindrance for some people? Praise the Lord, I don't hold that opinion. Sure not everyone is called to have as many as me, but did God say be fruitful and multiply, but only have 1 or 2 children each; or You need to be careful, your having to many children, your going to use up all of your precious resources, I can't handle what your doing to the earth, you have way too many children. Do you think of any body besides yourself when you decided to have that many children. Wow what is wrong with all these people who have no clue what a blessing from heaven children truly are?

For some fellowship along this line, you have got to read Above Rubies!
For ammunition on this topic: A Full Quiver by Rick & Jan Hess.
Both helped me tremendously!

May. 23, 2006 - They are blessings!

I really feel that many of the people that make those remarks are unsaved. Your witness to them in trusting God to determine the size of your family and provide for you, makes them look bad!
John 1:5
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
NKJV
When people are rude, just remember that they don't comprehend the light. They are to be pitied!
I pray the Lord blesses you and your family with more if it His Will. Eva

Jun. 5, 2006 - I can only handle my two!

We've each have to decide what is best for our families. Two is enough for us and we're leaving the discussion of fostering or adoption open. I am in awe of those who have more children than hands; children are blessings and if others can handle more blessings then BLESS YOU! LOL

I'm doing an Encouragment Challenge and Prayers for your husband at my blog taken from reviveourhearts.com. I figured since this is the month of father's day and a lot of homeschooling families are about to begin another year, this would be a perfect time to bless the men in our lives.
I only mention this because of your own blessings.

For His Glory,
Jessica
