To think after all that planning and scheming, she would never have seen him again. May we trust God with the lives of our children for He tends to both our children and our Mama hearts in the best of ways. Grateful you shared!

You've also reminded me of a sentence I read this morning from Gentle and Lowly >"It is not our loveliness that wins his love.

But maybe I should quote Jacob and say, "I won't let go until you bless me!" Think about it - I bet the enemy was screaming at Jacob, "You're not worthy." And he was right. But Jacob still didn't let go.Jerraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303751802364926617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-18325845915814356992021-11-01T11:50:28.523-05:002021-11-01T11:50:28.523-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joanne Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737190992108764966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-86114310935414876202021-11-01T11:37:23.820-05:002021-11-01T11:37:23.820-05:00I love this in so many ways.

Sometimes we just have to stop - and trust God - and you are right - NOT GIVE UP! It's hard sometimes in the wait of those prayers!Blue Cotton Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054380590723948989noreply@blogger.com
