Waiting In The Quiet

Sometimes life is gray and we're doing good just to peek over it.

And other times, it's in color and brightens the heart a bit.

 
 

 

 

 

Sometimes it's connecting and a spark is lit.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And then come times of quiet where we just sit.

So it is, this week, I've lived. Not so much through words, but through experience.  Enjoying my family, I've taken the time to sit and just be.  Moments to savor and watch the trying times of change.  While I keep myself open to all He is, I quietly come and just breathe.  For in the quiet, He opens my eyes to see.

My Gratitude starts:

--Watching Hubby transform the farm one baby step at a time

--Sharing meals and a table with Hubby and our boys

--Reflecting on the sacrificial love of Christ, and how it relates to marriage

--Even at his own discomfort, Hubby strives to better our place of home

--In heat, and rain, sweat and pain, Hubby labors on for our (family's) good

--And in a Christ-centered marraige, each person Christ-focused, Christ-humbled, Christ-sacrificed, Christ-encouragers, I sense the marriage of a Lamb where a home awaits this bride of Who's I am.

(What He's opened my eyes to see: when a husband lays down his life in a sacrificial way for his wife, scripture comes to life. As a Christian wife, you've probably heard it, maybe it's even been demanded of you to submit. But there's a tender balance to marriage displayed in Christ. The one who submitted but also sacrificed.

Oh how much sweeter is the word submit to one who lays it down like Christ.)
