THIS LIFE EXTRAORDINARY
Lord, only you take my breath away.
Tonight I'm thinking of my son. Remembering back to days when he was small. I still can see him playing in the ocean. I can hear his giggles in the waves. I can see him wiggling to get away from me while I tried to get suntan lotion onto his body as fast as I could.
Life is good. It's sometimes a little tough. But overall, I'd say it's gorgeous even in my toughest moments. It's all because I know I have a savior. It's because I have Jesus in my heart.
In your toughest moments, what memories remind you God is gracious?

That during the most eventful times of my life God changed my focus and help me to realize that the only thing that was important to me to help me survive was my dependence on him. He provided everything and the things of this earth were unimportant.
the birth of my 5th and 6th babies... wonderful grace filled stories
I am hopeful...prayerful that THIS year...will be that memorial stone for me....to be able to KNOW in experience and intelligence that the God of the universe is who He says He is.......thanks for asking and making me think about it.....
When our life was at its toughest, for about 10 years, it was looking at pictures of the kids when they were so sweet and innocent that kept me sane.
yes... thinking of my children reminds me there is a greater perspective, a higher love, and that so many things are not worth worrying about in the light of eternity.
Right now, I think of the times I got to sit on dad's lap, and he would warm my hands up in his. There was always so much love from my parents. And now I have to let one go. :( :(
Craig - you got it! God does provide indeed!
Holychaos - babies! What a wonderful event to praise God for!
Becky - THIS YEAR..meaning 2007...me too, friend. Me too.
Dawn - ahhh...the sweet and innocent years...those memories for me help me deal with the pain of my son's teenage years that are so trying right now.
