Reflections of the Heart

  I am beginning to understand the heart of God!  Each child born holds a special place in my heart.  I wondered after the first grandchild how I would ever have room in my heart to love a second.  Then, the second grandchild arrived and I found out that there was certainly room for more.  I have two girls who will both deliver a child in 2011.  I am anticipating what special place each of them will hold in my heart! I also need to add, the grandchildren that have come from marriage.  I have six of them.  They also are very dear, although they are not always near!  From my grands we have been blessed with two great-grandchildren.  How blessed we are!

It is 6am.  Autumn has arrived and the early morning is as dark as midnight.  Stepping outside I stopped in awe and gazed up at the beautiful star-lit sky. The atmosphere was clear of clouds and heaven was a glorious abundance of glowing stars.  The Lord spoke to my heart with the analogy that just as the stars are always present, so is He.  Circumstances cause the bright stars to be clouded over; they are forgotten because they are not in sight.  We must not allow life's circumstances to dim or completely cover the light of Jesus in our lives.  He is always there.  Darkness is simply the absence of light, and the darker the night, the brighter the Light!  God Bless.

 To love is to commit.  To commit is to sacrifice.  To sacrifice is to give yourself away.  To give yourself away is the ultimate expression  of love.  To find love is a blessing.  To keep love is a treasure.  To treasure love is a gift.  To give yourself away is the ultimate expression  of love.  To be loved is good.  To know you are loved is better.  To show your love is to show compassion.  To give yourself away is the ultimate expression of love.
