My yellow roses blooming in winter.
“God is at work in response to our prayers, whether we see something happening or not. If we are truly praying, ‘Thy will be done,’ forces are at work beyond our comprehension – and often, beyond our vision. But they are working just the same.”
—David Jeremiah
In my last post, I spoke about how hard the Christmas season has been for me over the years as a single mother. Sallie at A Quiet Simple Life reposted one of her classic posts, Merry Christmas, Darling. I remember how much it spoke to me when I first read it a few years ago. It still makes me cry, because I really long to be married and not be apart any longer from the one I love. The quote at the bottom of the post really, really spoke to my heart as I reread the post. I’m planning to make some bookmarks with the quote on it—lots for myself and some for others.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
