But if we allow our pain to inspire our writing, we will find relief and provide comfort and encouragement to others who are going through similar experiences. It is God's desire that we use our gift to share His hope and blessings with others.Nina Moreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10655605167987512020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-55000408032437016612018-04-15T12:39:39.672-07:002018-04-15T12:39:39.672-07:00Sharon,

Knowing that and acting on it are two different steps. I’m grateful for God’s patient interventions in my life ❤️Ruth L.

You and Kendall definitely have deep roots in your family tree. The commitment you have to your adoptive family is obviously built on the nurturing love of God. <br /><br />I pray 16 that ". . .according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."<br /><br />I believe I've previously read "Gifts from a Loving God," but it touched my heart again. Thanks for sharing your joys, your challenges and your pain. From what I've seen, you and Kendall are "rooted and grounded" in love. Keep on writing, Ruth L. Snyder!Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-68804058934522439622018-04-14T10:41:35.749-07:002018-04-14T10:41:35.749-07:00I concur with everything Brenda said!

Our most powerful lessons come out of pain, I think, and so it makes sense that our most impactful writing also comes from that same place...

It really helps to hone our reasons why we write. Thanks for this.<br /><br />Brenda<br /><br /><br /><br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.com
