This is my favorite picture of my boys when they were younger. I framed it along with the quote below and hung it by my bed so I can see it every morning while I spend time reading God's Word and writing in my journal. It is my reminder that my life (and all that it contains) is not my own....
In light of the tragedy in Connecticut on Friday I wanted to share again Margaret Woods' writings from 1777 that I shared in my June 16th post on Fatherhood....
Here is the rest of the quote....
"We are so incapable of judging with regard to our own happiness, or that of others, that it should lead us to a patient acquiescence in the Divine will: a resignation which would not only enable us to say, "Thy will be done," but to feel that submission of mind which would preserve us in calm composure. Things which appear to our present unhappiness and disadvantage have frequently at a future period proved a benefit, and we have been led to acknowledge that the Lord only knows what is best for us. Suffer us to beseech, O Lord, more and more to enlighten us with divine knowledge, and having made us sensible of thy will, enable us to obey it."
Link to Scripture: Amos 4:13
Take Action: ♫God is in Control♫
