Hi, everyone! I know I haven't been around in a long time, but I do read every now and then. I just wanted to share something that has been on my heart for awhile. I've come to understand that we must recognize that the long-term intention of God is not only to eliminate the pains in our bodies, but also to establish His reign in our hearts . . . that the goal of God's visitation is to make us His habitation. This is a treasure I am standing on right now. I know, Bondman, that you and your beloved are physically in much need, but we certainly recognize the enormous blessing you have been to all of us. You are continually a blessing to those around you, without any boundaries. God must be very fond of you to have kept you strong in this way.
I am so blessed to be retired now. I'm enjoying the babies I am caring for soooo much. Besides EmiliRose (2) and her brother, Xander(3 mos), I had a call today from someone whose niece is trying to find someone to watch her 3-mo old baby boy also. And, on top of that, my daughter, Kim is due to have her baby girl any day, which will make me an official grandma finally. Her name is Lily Grace. I am so very blessed.
Can you imagine smooching on a baby any time you want? I don't know why Heavenly Father has blessed me so much. I don't deserve it. However, in the same way, even though I have my aches and pains, I can still be used to be a blessing to these young parents and their sweet babies.
The most important thing right now though is I am establishing His reign in my heart and I am falling deeper and deeper in love with Him. I am working on doing the hard things and doing it on purpose, to train my flesh to bow to His plans for my life. It's an exciting life for sure! What would we ever do without Him?!
Thanx for letting me share what was on my heart. Of course, you had no choice, lol You've done read it now. No turning back hehe. God bless you all. You may find me lurking around here some other time. Hugz, Sweets
