Outnumbered Mom: A Perfect World?
When I'm discontent, when I long for more, help me remember that it's simply part of the wooing.
May I not long for the things of this world and settle for its pleasures.
Lure me, call me, Father, to You and Your invisible Kingdom.
May I find what I so keenly long for only in You.
I need this reminder so often.
I have to remind myself of this often when things seem wrong or frustrating in this world: we're not in heaven yet. I need to let that reminder make me long for heaven.
discontent dogs me at every turn....thanks for the words.
I absolutely love that quote -- it puts so much in perspective for me. And perhaps that's why I clamor for that ephemeral happiness and contentment, only to grasp but a thread of it here on Earth. Perhaps God is simply giving me a foretaste of everlasting true joy to come?
I love Elizabeth Elliot. What a wonderful way to look at heaven and earth. Glad to have longings for the next world!
I love your "Outnumbered Mom" tagline! It's so true!
