This past January my years verse was James 1:2-5. For me it is more of a life verse. It became very apt though for all of us.
There are always moments of madness and moments of meditation, reflection and processing on the events.
From the death of a grandchild to the birth of two,
death of relative
to the moving of one son and impending marriage of another
and the daily needs of my home.
Life propels us into an uncertain future. But there is always wisdom and hope to be found when we seek it.
I loved seeing the photos, especially those of your children!
ReplyDeleteSo mice to see your family, Sheila! You have your hands full! ❤️🙏The babies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your family, Sheila. I just read James 1:2-5 for my own edification. Probably for most of us this has been a year of testing and, hopefully, a year of growth as well. You have a lot going on in your family, but what a great bunch. I also love the photos.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences on the loss of a grandbaby. Congratulations on the addition of two more babies. May you take comfort in the fact that God is with you through all of this. Your story brought to mind the old hymn, Count Your Blessings. It has verses about the ups and the downs of life. May we all feel God’s presence in the good times and through the tough times too.
Yes, always hope to be found when we look beyond our own ways, but instead to God's promises.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had quite a year, Sheila. Mine's been expensive. By the way, I love that first picture. Sunsets and sunrises can be so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo essay and all your family pictures, Sheila! My condolences on the loss of your grandbaby and relative. God is present with us in our losses to comfort and strengthen us. It's true that life brings things where we need God's wisdom, as as we step into uncertain futures, we know "there is always wisdom and hope to be found when we seek it."
