We move through our time on this earth doing a million and ten things, with a thousand and one goals, and tens of hundreds of to-do lists. But in our minds are bigger thoughts: I want to turn my kids into good people, I want to leave the world a little better than I found it, I want to touch someone’s life. And often - in the cosmic humor that surrounds us – we raise amazing people, make things better, touch people in amazing ways but don’t know, or never see.
the chat with Kristin made me see things in a broader perspective, even if it were on seemingly unattainable to me. i also realized one thing - i am not alone in my despair and poverty. Neither am i alone in my faith and hope.
i will learn to be patient.
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
dear God,
i know sometimes troubles are there
for us to grow stronger and learn to rely on u
help us to remain strong in our faith like Job
cure us of our unbelief
and help us to grow and prosper in our belief
give us strength
and hope for the problems we may face
no matter how small
thanks for everything you have already given us
and help us to also be grateful.
in Jesus name, amen
dear jesus, i pray tt u will hv lordship over everything in our lives, no matter how small our faith is, will u grow tt faith in our hearts so that our worries will look so small and our confidence in u will burgeon!
in jesus name i pray, AMEN!
