I am blessed with 3 healthy children.

Amazingly, though, God is always faithful. I love your oatmeal word picture!

Talk about transparent and then some... and I love that you knew it was important enough to link to it from your other blog.<br /><br />I love this! <i>Sometimes I feel like when life is going great I will occasionally check in with the Lord, give Him a high five and say "thanks for all the blessings...I'll let you know when I need ya".</i> What a perfect analogy... I can be guilty of this, too.<br /><br />And the raw oatmeal! I can almost imagine how awful the raw oatmeal would taste in my mouth... but then what in the world would it do to my stomach? <br /><br />Yes, Lord, I will wait for you to make the oatmeal... with blueberries, please!sister sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825231117150295794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591308797413006520.post-60782642270531847182010-03-09T19:42:02.157-08:002010-03-09T19:42:02.157-08:00Very well said friend, and such a good analogy.

But we're human. We do our best. I know how you feel about making breakfast too.

I, for one, appreciate the transparency, and the great parenting analogies you always have. It gives me a new perspective on my relationship with the Ultimate Parent. <br />And in case it helps, I'm right there with ya, waiting patiently (sometimes) for my oatmeal!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716314890971707379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591308797413006520.post-76453864269907170452010-03-09T16:57:44.011-08:002010-03-09T16:57:44.011-08:00Good words honey!
