• Aug. 14, 2008 - Pilgrim's Progress

We recently watched a 1970's film production of The Pilgrim's Progress staring Liam Neeson! We all got a lot out of it and I will be thrilled when the boys are able to read for themselves the great novel by John Bunyan.

So happen's that during this same period we found ourselves in a time of deep reflection brought on by a life circumstance and a time major growth. So like the Lord to provide the encouragement.

I wrote this in my journal.

I Have Nothing; Yet I Have Everything

Striped of common comforts we find ourselves better able to be properly grafted into the vine. Pruned back; yet thriving like we never could had we not met the husbandman's scalpel.

We come to the place where life has such deep meaning that joy abound's through all circumstances. The sorrows are just short lived treks through a valley and we always come out on a green pasture to feed and gain our strength to move onward. We sing, "Journey forth; that He may increase even as I decrease!"

can I ask where you found it? I didn't realize that it was on film? So it was worth watching and safe for the kids to see?

For small children, I found this book awhile back. I'd like to see the movie too ...

It is nice to visit again and hear that you are doing well. Hope you and baby are getting used to one another ... you are truly blessed!

Walk in Him : )
