| Reminded to be homesick.... |
|
| |
My last and thus far, only, blog entry was about joining a special club. Well, this past Monday, I reaffirmed my membership in this club, by giving birth to Zechariah Jude Beasley. We lost our second son at the same point in pregnancy as Callum, his brother, last September. I'm grateful, that God would give me the privilige of being my sons' mother, even though I won't get to know them on this side of heaven. Through all of these trials, of course, my heart aches with missing them, but it's more than that. God has so eloquently reminded me that this is not my home.
Being a Navy wife for 15 years, I'm familiar with the concept of living somewhere and it not being "home", but I think I get so caught up in life and homeschooling and being a Mum to our five daughters that heaven as "home" becomes a distant thought. Until, that is, God brings me graphic reminders (because I tend to need to be hit over the head with things). So, I'm praising God that this is NOT my home, for reminding me that, as a believer, there is sooooo much more than this flawed earthly life. That my hope is not in doctors or friends but in Christ alone, for answers, for comfort, for Home. |

Anne, we all need to be hit over the head with things!
You are a special person Anne. I love how you have glowed whenever I've seen you the past year or so. You have a beautiful smile, and it really cheers my heart to see it! You really are such an encouragement and answer to prayer, I can't begin to tell you. (Well, I could try if you ever wanted me too  )
Thank you for persevering through life with us. You are part of what makes Calvary so special. ~mike |

Anne, You are in my prayers, I am so sorry that you had to go through this again. It makes you stop and wonder (WHY?) why again. Even when these sad things happen, we still praise God, he knows what's best. We just have to have the faith to believe, and thank God for his son Jesus, without Jesus, we wouldn't be able to handle the pain as well. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. |
