For so many reasons, this reflection has captured my heart. The psalm (23) itself has been a mainstay in my faith journey, but your reference to Hinds' Feet on The High Places grabbed me, too! This book was also given me by a priest during a pivotal time in my healing journey, and I have recommended it many times over.

Well, isn't that a "Godincidence" (as our own Judy Savoy would say)? Incredible, really. But then again, it is an incredible book. Perhaps we should expect it the incredible more than we do. I know I should. Thank you, Lori.

Donna. Your reflection brought me to prayers for my children who suffer from coming from divorced parents. Some days I can see their pain so clearly. But your reflection gives me great hope for their future. It also allows me to surrender their future to God. Hearing and seeing how God worked in your life gives me true hope. I pray the Good Shepard will seek them and provide them with rest in times of darkness. God bless Lorrie

Divorce is not always the worse outcome, and I know you realize that, Lorrie. But, I would venture to say, it nearly always leaves wounds that are slow to heal. Still, our God loves us and longs to embrace us as we heal. This may sound strange to some, but I wouldn't change a thing about that summer after my dad died. The Lord supported me with love through the grief and loneliness. I knew I was drawn in close to His side. God bless your children. The Lord walks alongside them. He will give them all the light and rest they need, and you will pray night and day that they lean into Him.

Thanks for your encouragement and for the link, Donna. I am only familiar with the public library apps, Libby and Overdrive. Good to be motivated to learn to buy ebooks that the public library don't, and often won't, carry. XO Leave a Reply. |
