Would we fully appreciate the sun if we didn't have some storms? Would we fully enjoy its warmth without the coldness of winter?<br /><br />Would we ever have had the chance to experience eternal life without the messy cross?<br /><br />Oh Lord, thank You that You work in the mess of our lives. Thank You for bringing beauty out of our trials. Thank You for the love that You shower upon us. May we love like You do, so that all whose lives we touch know that they are special.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-21513750413166676262014-11-16T14:56:30.713-06:002014-11-16T14:56:30.713-06:00Beautiful encouragement Beth for all of us that li...Beautiful encouragement Beth for all of us that live in hard and messy. lisahttp://aboutproximity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-24796653127928578142014-11-16T12:40:17.651-06:002014-11-16T12:40:17.651-06:00I am always so blessed by your comments, Linda, an...I am always so blessed by your comments, Linda, and your willingness to share.

God, indeed, makes beautiful things out of "messy" things...I know that to be true first hand! I love your husband's response to your panic -- gentle and loving. That's what God does, too. His comfort during our messy times gives us strength and grows us. This was beautiful, Beth. Marriage is beautiful...especially when we have our wonderful God at the center of it using our messiness to increase the depth of our love.
