This is my first attempt at blogging, so here are my thoughts. My husband and I have been in the ministry for over 30 years and are now retired. We are just not getting paid, but that will never stop us from ministring to those in need to share God's truth.
Here lately we have experienced a great of pain in our personal life through our son's heartache. When you are a mother you never stop loving or attempting to encourage your grown children even when they make choices that have caused them pain. People that are in pain do not seem to want Bible scriptures thrown at them as an encouragement. They just want us to listen! Mothers, or least this mother, wants to fix things. I do not believe that it is our job as women who have trusted in a loving Savior to fix our children;s problems. We had to go through pain in our lives and this truth cannot be any different for our children. Jesus said in this world there will be problems arise do to sin and/or because we live in a dark world. I believe that the prayers of a righteous woman of faith for her children are heard, but we must leave the results to God in how He answers those prayers. He sees the heart of all that belong to Him, and He knows what is best. I was reminded again of Matthew 11:28-30 when Jesus spoke of His chosen people to come to Him if we are struggling. May you be comforted if you are experiencing this kind of pain regarding your children!
