Thankful Thursday
"Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever fresh and radiant possiblity." Kate Douglas Wiggin
I'm thankful for my kids because they:
-give me so many opportunities to play and dance
-remind me what's really important
-help me live my life with greater freedom and purpose
-give me beautiful heartsongs to sing
-affirm over and over that I am loved even when I don't think I deserve it.
My fourteen year old writes poetry. She inspires me....with her words...and the gentleness of her spirit and the beauty that flows from her heart.
No One But Him by Shelley
No one can mend a broken heart
No one can fix what is fallen apart
No one can settle a raging wave
No one can foretell the acts of the brave
No one can perfect the Shepherd's sheep
No one can create oceans as deep
No one can cause us to rise from the dead
No one can give food to who need to be fed
No one can make the blind see
No one can give you eternity
No one can turn water to blood
No one can dry out a massive flood
No one can cleanse the heart of sin
No one can know what's truly within
No one can know what tomorrow will bring
No one can do these.....But Him
