When there is heartache-
And nothing I have done has caused it,
And there is nothing I can do to fix it-
Then, Lord Jesus, let me be found faithful in my trust.
When it seems like illness and death and broken hearts and broken people
Are all I can see or hear or think about.
And my tears seem but an impotent, selfish release,
Then, Lord Jesus, let your strength be glorified in my weakness.
When dreams lie twisted, broken, and in grave disarray.
And understanding what went wrong is elusive and unsatisfactory.
And the tears of other’s anguish and grief and hurt wrench my own heart,
Then, Lord Jesus, may your peace bring hope anew.

Hello fellow-mom. Just want ya to know I love you and am thinking of you! You bless me so much and yes…I am listening to your song again – thank you!
RYC on my antique sewing machine It has lots of attachments that do a lot of things so it is more capable than it appears. It will sew over pins and rarely gives me any tangling problems like a fancy Elna that I haave does constantly. I only take that machine out for zigzaging, one thing my Singer can’t do. You are right, I am attached to it!
This entry’s timing is interesting…
Beautiful words from a beautiful woman. I love you dearly Mary Ann. Some joy is in our future…. only 10 days until a wonderful man is coming home. We sent away a boy– and I truly feel that a man will return! We have all been refined. See you soon.
