"I have held many things
and have lost them all.
But that which I have
placed in God's hands
I still retain."

Godly Homemaking wisdom for a peaceful and joyous home life. . .. "Faint not; the miles to heaven are but few and short." -Samuel Rutherford
"Our fair morning is at hand;
the day star is near the rising,
and we are not many miles from home.
What matter, then, of ill-entertainment
in the smoky inns of this worthless world?
We are not to stay here,
and we shall be dearly welcome
to Him to whom we are going."
- Samuel Rutherford, 1600's -

Just beautiful and I love the painting.

Oh Mrs. White what a timely poem. Giving things over to the Lord can be difficult sometimes, but I know it is necessary. I'm expecting my fifth baby and was told I had some complications, that any time throughout my entire pregnancy I could miscarry. How devastating that was to hear, my husband said that we need to give this little baby over to the Lord like we did the other children. It's something I'm working on, and reading this post of yours was a good reminder.
thanks!
