Isn't it amazing how God uses our love for our kids to remind us of how much He loves us!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469640527170481556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354519414376941703.post-23166685664532659562008-02-05T18:21:00.000-05:002008-02-05T18:21:00.000-05:00Oh Glory, what a testimony you have shared here. ...Oh Glory, what a testimony you have shared here. I had the occasion to learn this very type of patience in the last year of my son's life. He struggled so with mental and social afflictions and he so longed to be the young man God had called him to be. I prayed and pled and asked God to bring change, to bring His will but nothing changed and most of the time things got worse. In August of 2005 I spent 8 days in the hospital waiting for God to reveal His plan for the injuries my son had suffered in a car accident. Ultimately, that plan would be that God took my son finally home to heaven, but I had to learn to trust God and wait upon Him to release His divine mercy and trust that whatever it looked like it was a part of His will and His plan. Patience came at a high price, but it is working itself in me daily - everyday since as now, I am so anxious to go home!<BR/><BR/>Blessings and thank you for hosting this challenge.<BR/><BR/>MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192231917797056935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354519414376941703.post-73921051263158745702008-02-05T09:48:00.000-05:002008-02-05T09:48:00.000-05:00Great post...Lol...I think as mothers we tend to q...Great post...Lol...I think as mothers we tend to quickly identify the need for patience and forget that like us, Our Heavenly Father is OUR PARENT too and how he must feel when we are in our moments of pain, sadness and joy...<BR/><BR/>I love this quote because it is a reminder that like we try to teach our kids, "wait" and they will be rewarded for the worth it was to take that extra time versus trying to cram a round peg into a square hole. (And how many toys have we had to replace due to lack of patience?

Patience is something I've long prayed for, and God answered that prayer powerfully through some really tough experiences, mainly centered around my children. Being able to see the blessings after the pain is incredible. <BR/><BR/>Thanks~<BR/>Mary EllenMrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452148842699971085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354519414376941703.post-13156978140228889842008-02-05T08:35:00.000-05:002008-02-05T08:35:00.000-05:00How awesome Bonnie, thanks.

He fell out of the back of the shopping cart, but I was alone and couldn't tell if it was broken. I couldn't even hold him in my arms on the drive to the hospital. It was heartbreaking until a few days later when he figured out how to remove his cast and kept doing this because he thought it was funny! :)Heather https://www.blogger.com/profile/03415448097239579759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354519414376941703.post-42445492719852843602008-02-05T05:55:00.000-05:002008-02-05T05:55:00.000-05:00I have learned one of the hardest things in life i...I have learned one of the hardest things in life is being patient with God while our children are in pain.My son was very ill for a week last month and it seemed like an eternity as I cried out to God over it.<BR/><BR/>What a great perspective and analogy you have. Having kids sometimes gives you just an inkling of what God must go through with us.<BR/><BR/>If possible, can you remove link #1? It defaulted to something I did last Friday and I didn't realize it until I hit "Enter." It looks rather silly that I have a link to a recipe on IOW!! :) Thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
