Queen’s Anne Lace… isn’t this photo beautiful?? So delicate… so intricate… so like God to give us a glimpse of absolute perfection that can only be found in HIS creation… He brings it, when we just don’t have a clue!!
I am in a position that I never expected for myself. I am living with my daughter, her husband and her new, 5-month-old (TOMORROW!!!) baby boy!
I hate this! I hate being a burden to anyone… and I know my girl… she would hate to hear me say this… a sweeter, more loving daughter could not be had… she is my jewel… one of 3 beautiful daughters who love me and take good care of me… any one of them would do the same … as would my sons… a greater blessing than my 5 children could not be had…
… but I hate this none-the-less! I hate it so much…
Being humble… admitting we can’t do life on our own sometimes…
I won’t lie… there are moments I wish I wasn’t here… that I wasn’t a burden… I do… tonight is hard…
But, I trust God. I trust that being humbled and humiliated a bit is OK…
It’s OK…. sad as I am… I know it’s OK…
There are seasons in life that are unexpected… that make us look up to heaven and say, ‘Why??? Why, Lord??’ But, I can do nothing but trust and love my God for what he is ultimately doing for me… and in me… and through me….
It will be so good… it will! I know this to be true! I KNOW it! Just, please Lord, get me through this….
Oh my beautiful Father in Heaven that makes such beautiful things like Queen’s Anne Lace… let me learn from being a burden!! Let this time bring GLORY to your name!!
