I have a friend who spent decades trying to be a 'Proverbs 31 woman'. She finally said...'it ain't never gonna happen'. She was trying to be funny, but truly it showed me her own depths of pain and loss in herself and how she isn't. I've watched her battles and seen many times the mirroring that God has given her in her own life to see what part she might have played in her own pain. But she cannot look in that mirror. YOU have. You have looked, you have felt, you have heart searched and felt again and now, you are doing. Your heart has been broken up by this gift of a 'library angel'...that irresistable urge to select, open and read a book. You are on the path. Blessings of the highest order to your and your family. The challenges and the lessons and the path of understanding are all one with the journey of the heart and you are well on your way, dear woman.

Certainly they have their own free will, (as God designed each of us) but we can have such a huge impact on that free will with how we handle treat love and respect our children. We each need to be reminded of this simple lesson that you speak of today, although putting it into practise isn't always the most simplist of things to do. God bless you Bren for seeing what needs to be changed in your own home and showing many of us what we need to change.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757554177443434903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-13644002348446980302009-02-21T13:36:00.000-06:002009-02-21T13:36:00.000-06:00Blessings need to be giving in more homes than jus...Blessings need to be giving in more homes than just yours.
