If in dealing with one who does not
respond,
I weary of the strain, and slip
from under the burden
then I know nothing of Calvary love.
~Amy Carmichael
from "If....what do I know of Calvary Love?"
(it's just the coolest little book of 'if' questions from a lady who you'd think would be asking things like 'why' instead - it has hit me deep every time I've opened it!)
Lord, do not let me 'slip' in pointing these girls to You.
Lord, do not let me 'slip' in pointing my friends to their creator, their ultimate source of love.
Lord, do not let me 'slip' in speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
these three prayers have occupied my deepest thoughts this week.

It's only when we realize that God is amazing at His job and we get to help with only what He asks us to do that the job gets done well.

What a great quote. I've sat here reading it several times to let it really sink in. Excellent for the relentless labor of child rearing! Love your prayers this week too.
Wonderful thoughts! Just catching up on blogs after a 2week visit from f-i-l. I'm sniffing that you're leaving, but glad things are working out. Praise God!
