In seeking the place of calm acceptance about things going on in my life, the words of the hymn "How Firm a Foundation" have lingered in my mind for several days. It's not a coincidence. This hymn has lifted me in times when I was literally fighting for every breath I took to stay alive. Different verses have helped me at different times. At present, it is the third verse.
"Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.
I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my rightous, omnipotent hand."
I felt joy today as I hugged each of my children, read "Mr. Brown Can Moo" 5 times to Sara Kate, and made sure that Mark knows how grateful I am for him. AND...took a few quiet moments for myself and painted my toenails RED!
