Good Morning Blog Friends~
It is a gorgeous morning at Farming on Faith. The birds are singing~ the frogs are croaking and I have a fresh cup of coffee in my hands curled up with my Bible.This little guy is George ~ Caleb named him. He likes to eat my frogs and the fish from the pond. He fishes with his beak~ kind-of fun to watch.
I am needing something from God this morning. The next 10 days will be a tad bit hectic for sure~ before the wedding. So I am catching a calm before the storm~ so to speak. My Boston is coming home for a short stay so I am excited to get my hands on him. Boston and Keaton both think Papa is gold~ so I have a plan to buy Josilyn's affection.LOL
My children grew up when I wasn't looking. I don't know how because they will all tell you I may have been a bit of a smothering mother. At one time I was the center of their world~ no more. Sometimes I miss them so much my heart aches. But it is time for them to start their journey in life.
I still say giving birth is much easier than pulling off a wedding and much less painful than letting them go.
Pity parties are nothing but a waste of time~ so I am not going to throw myself one~ there is not time for that. I am reminded this morning how God must have felt when He sent his Son to earth. Did He cry Himself to sleep each time He looked at His son's empty room ~ His empty seat at the table and the stillness of the chatter that once was a normal sound in the house? For thirty-three years there was so whiff of a teenage boy ~ or in my case Marshmallow scented Calgon. NO there was no whiff of Jesus in the Heavens. As if that was not bad enough He sent His Son to die so that the world would never have to be separated from God.
During this time in preparation of the wedding (and her moving so far away) and the coming Easter Sunday ~ I now understand just how much God loved me. He separated Himself from His Son just for me. He gave up His daily chatter with His Son so that He never had to be separated from me. Wow~ what amazing love.
On that Resurrection morning when the earth quaked and the stone rolled away~ God's Son overcame death so that earthlings could enter into Heaven. Oh~ how much God loves us!
SO~ on this beautiful morning as I worship my God for this beautiful Creation He has blessed me with~ I am praising Him for the sacrifice He has made for me and my children so that I will never have to be separated from them for eternity.
Now that is just a wonderful reason to celebrate this morning~
