I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints -to live 'in grace' as much of the time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony...” ― From Chapter 2 "Channeled Whelk" of "Gift from the Sea" Anne Morrow LindberghKaybehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14766292406622889248noreply@blogger.comBlogger16125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885719761274275990.post-82740248001113767442012-05-06T18:23:25.887-04:002012-05-06T18:23:25.887-04:00He truly IS all of our bff's!!!

You are so right...The peace He grants us is immeasurable. April (and March, all the way back to Oct.) has been a time for us to fall on our knees.But I can say with surety..that God carried us through our own storms. And he will continue to do so...<br /><br />Love AML's book, too. There is much wisdom in those pages.<br />xoxo<br />JJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217873835177215930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885719761274275990.post-19776767995171797302012-05-04T23:22:55.524-04:002012-05-04T23:22:55.524-04:00Sounds like you could use a trip to Cayo Costa.

I have two copies of that book..

I've always said that I don't know how I'd make it through the hard times without having had my heavenly Father there looking after me, walking with me and sometimes carrying me. I'm so glad he's been there for you too. It is so true what you say. It's all talk until we are faced with seemingly overwhelming challenges in life. I'm so very happy that you were able to get together with your siblings and that your husband and mother are on the mend.
