You might need to read this quote slowly again and again to GET IT! Had a bad night last night after a super great visit from Dan and Michelle doing a very long To Do list for mama. I went to this quote. and I pray I can Do it!
“Sometimes, all you’re called to do is stand.” “Stand?”Fraser said.
“Yep. Be. Believe. Hold on. Stand. Our best hope in the middle of confusion and chaos is not to try and solve our problems ourselves but to simply remember whose we are and who we hope in. You stay rooted in the middle of a storm—darkness, confusion, chaos—by putting your focus on the One who is stronger than the storm.” Jonas, book 2 of (the Minnesota Marshalls) author, Susan May Warren Yellow highlight | Page: 215

| Yes, I can stand, else how could I get from the living room floor to the grass outside, Mama is just not quick enough with the cell phone or maybe she can't use it while walking. ha ha |

Standing firm in storms is truly the good life. Trust me

ReplyDeleteSorry about the bad night, but so happy you had a great visit with Dan and Michelle. And the quote is fantastic.
Stand by anything that gives you strength and resilience - sway with the forces and still be on your feet after they have swept on by. Good to see Beau out in the sun, on green grass.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy for Beau. That is awesome. Also, glad that your son and his wife helped you so much. I read that quote a few times - and I get it - sometimes all you can do is stand - and sometimes you can't even do that. HUGS.
