"It was this willingness to find poetry in things around them that kept his life and Isabel's fresh, and they taught their children the secret of their elixir."
I hope my husband and I can do this for our children! That is the purpose of this blog--to find poetry in things around us.
i found some poetry today, in fact, while reading in the Bible:
"9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Job 23:9-10"
at times it seems like i can't find God or i'm not sure what He's doing. but i take comfort knowing that He absolutely knows the end from the beginning and He knows "the way that I take". He knows the way before i've even gone there. and "when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold". after the hard times, i'll be a more refined me! and there's always better things to come, whether it be that things will get easier or that there will be better (harder) learning experiences. i don't know about you, but i rejoice that life = constant learning. i don't always rejoice in the process, but i don't think i need to. what i need to do is just find the lesson in it and keep moving, remembering and telling myself that there is refining goin' down! and i'll be a better person because of it. because of Him.
