Peace in the Midst of Pain
A week ago today, my husband and I lost another precious little one to miscarriage. We now have four dear little blessings waiting for us in heaven. Coupled with our history of unexplained infertility, this loss is yet another deep wound to heal from. But healing DOES come - in time. God's timing is perfect and his plans for us are for our benefit. I don't know why He has chosen to have us walk this road, but I do know His plans are for our GOOD and His glory.
I found a quote this morning on a blog I have been blessed by recently. Kathy had been reading an autobiography of Jennifer Rothschild called, "Walking By Faith: Lessons Learned In the Dark", and posted the following quote:
"The only difference between becoming bitter and becoming better is the letter 'I'. Approaching our difficulties from the standpoint of what I want, what I have lost, or what I think is fair will embitter us. Bitter eyes can perceive only the injustice and the sorrow in the situation. Grateful eyes however, will always see the grace of God, regardless of how difficult our circumstances might be. Grateful eyes allow us to see "the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living" (Psalm 27:13)."
Lord, give me grateful eyes to see Your grace in my life, regardless of how difficult the circumstances You place me in might be.
