Him

Jesus Christ is my Lord, my God. There are times I just sit back in a daze of thankfulness and deep contentment, knowing that it is He who is behind all this love around me: this little person who looks up into my eyes when I feed her, my dear husband who works so hard and serves us so tenderly, this home, this new spring breeze, my art students who show me their latest drawings with such eagerness to learn and grow, this sunset... I can't wait to begin teaching Annie about Him. So many people have misjudged Christ since he first came. But I know that He will make His true self known to her as he has done to me. Even now I read the scriptures to her and pray in the future that she may trust Him with a carefree heart. (p.s. I didn't take that picture...I got it off the web.)
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things."
Philippians 4:6-8

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your encouraging entry. I just wanted to say "hi" and that last weekend when I was at a department store, I walked past the section for baby clothes (oh man the shoes & socks are CUTE) and I thought of Annie, you, & Joel. Hope you guys are doing well!! :D

Louise,
Thanks for your thoughts. Someday you're going to get married and walk by the baby aisle and actually get something for yourself! Imagine that!
love, melissa
