the quotes, the lesson

"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.
