Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

Lord,
Today I come before Your throne of grace and confess that over the course of my life I have selfishly used my hands in ways that bring you shame. Father, I ask for your forgiveness. Holy Spirit, please guide my hands so they will lift others up and point to you. Amen.

My Acceptance Speech

12:02 PM | 0 Comments

I have just been nominated for the Meanest Mom of the Year award.

I am so proud.

I would like to thank God,
my wonderfully supportive husband,
my parents who raised me to be this way,
and of course, my four darling children for I couldn't have done this without them!

THE WORLD by George Herbert

Love built a stately house, where Fortune came,
And spinning fancies, she was heard to say
That her fine cobwebs did support the frame,
Whereas they were supported by the same;
But Wisdom quickly swept them all away.

Then Pleasure came, who liking not the fashion,
Began to make balconies, terraces,
Till she had weakened all by alteration;
But reverend laws, and many a proclamation
Reformed all at length with menaces.

Then entered Sin, and with that sycamore
Whose leaves first sheltered man from drought and dew,
Working and winding slily evermore,
The inwards walls and summers cleft and tore;
But Grace shored these, and cut that as it grew.

Then Sin combined with death in a firm band,
To raze the building to the very floor;
Which they effected,--none could them withstand;
But Love and Grace took Glory by the hand,
And built a braver palace than before.
