Thinking about this quote as I remember this conversation. Oh, to be refined by pain and not to fear it or allow it to control my life.

Smile Lost: a story-poem
He snuggles close on my lap, dear boy with tears dripping, heart as broken as the toy that fell apart. “Can you smile?” I ask, brushing droplets away. An emphatic shake of the head. No. No smiles. So I wink and draw in a shocked breath, “You lost your smile?” I clutch him tight,…

A true fact: eating “real” food has done more for me physically than 4 years of doctoring. However, I have to start these posting by saying that I am not a doctor and all that jazz. This is just me telling you what I do. For three years now I’ve struggled to completely change my…
Five ways to get more of God’s Word in your daily life
It was a few weeks ago when I went searching for my Bible. I couldn’t imagine where I had put it. I checked all the regular places– by the computer, on the corner cupboard, in the bathroom, by my bed, inside my purse. It was M.I.A. Finally, finally, we located it… in the car, where it had…
why telling yourself “just be happy!” doesn’t really work
She’s the mother of four. Their ages are her testimonial to the tired, overwhelming days. 4, 3, 1, and 3 months. I’m the mother of none. My empty house is the testimonial to my years of tears and empty longings. We seem so different on the surface. She can’t know what it’s like to face infertility…
Hi sister,
Beautiful quote… so much like those verses in James chapter one. ~ Blessings, Amy
*hugs* and lots of prayers.I agree that pain does have something to teach us, even if it just resting in Him and soldiering on.
I venture to say, embracing pain is the only way through it. Praying the way through yours is short.
Powerful! I missed something. Why are you in pain? I.recently decided that I have allowed too much living to be stolen from me while I wallowed in pain (physical and emotional) so I got on a strict diet and started water aerobics for exercise. I have a lot more freedom of movement in the water. This morning I was heading out to an 8:00 class and stepped wrong. I have Achilles Tendonitis in both legs and both ankles chose to give out entirely at the bottom of our stairs. I landed in the grass. Hubby came out to help me up. I tried to take a step and promptly collapsed again. I laid in the yard for a while with ice packs under my ankles. Finally … Slowly … Made it into the house. Still can’t walk, an hour later, and I’m frustrated by the set back BUT I have to acknowledge the blessings! I was at the bottom of the cement steps … Not the top! I landed in grass … Not on concrete. I was at home … Not in a busy parking lot or the pool. I was able to make it to my bed. I had ice packs ready. I already have muscle relaxants and they are doing their thing. This was not MY plan for today but I’ll go with it! Maybe we can pray for each other’s pain?
Oh, my! Ouch! I have tendentious in my wrist, so I know a little bit of that type of pain.
I have been writing some lately about different types of pain that we can face, living in a fallen world. This was just a quote that I picked up somewhere along the road.
Will definitely be praying that you find healing, dear. <3
hopefully you don’t hurt too much
Thank you, dear.
