Tears From Their Eyes

      He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

     How awesome it that?  I've had a cloud over my soul lately.  The tears in my heart are still there.  The problem is still around.  But the Lord God is not hampered by my cloud!  It makes me feel humbled and amazed that God will wipe away tears from off all faces.
      I'm a mom and I am constantly wiping tears and giving hugs and making judgement calls and trying to heal my children's wounds.  So my first thought of God wiping away my tears was of love.  I love my children so very much.  And when they're hurt or hurting the first thing I do is pull them to me in a hug and wipe their tears and look into their eyes. That's just my natural inclination because of how I feel and love them SO much!    So imagine how much God must love us!  He created us.....He must want to wipe those tears away just as much as I want to wipe my children's tears away.  Only, He can give victory over death (death of so many things) and he can remove condemnation and take the tears in a divine way.  I can only physically try to mend my childrens hearts. But only God can divinely do all that!    For the LORD hath spoken it!    Amen!
       Today, I will give out hugs and wipe tears and rest in the promise that God cares deeply for my tears.....enough to wipe them away.  And some day  the things that condemn and  rebuke and hurt will be all gone.......endurance and looking to Jesus will get me through with JOY in my heart!

What a wonderful thought. Tears are something God is familiar with so He knows just how to wipe them away forever... I long for that day when He will do just that.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
