Pearls of Price: Grumbling and Disputing

Grumbling and Disputing

Do all things without grumbling or disputing.

Philippians 2:14

This is the text of the week.

Spouting off at the mouth in anger over every little trifle is getting old.

VERY OLD.

It often times turns to yelling and screaming, "I obey, I happy now!" which would be hilarious if it were not so obnoxious and so contradictory of the attitude. Yelling "I happy now!" in rage is not my idea of a happy heart.

May the Lord wash the hearts of all this ugliness.

Acceptance With Joy

I am mother to 5 plus. My husband and I are blessed with three lovely teenage daughters and we adopted 6 year old twins through the domestic adoption process. We are also licensed foster parents and have been privileged to have a part in reuniting a family and we continue to be there in support of this family. It has been a blessed experience. Occasionally we do respite but mostly, this blog is about the journey of raising children adopted domestically and conquering the hurdles that make life difficult for them. The twins are almost 12 now. It's been a tough road. One that we need God to give us strength and wisdom to travel.

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

~Isa. 58:3-8
