Shadybrook Acres: Surrendering

Surrendering

What I Lost

Time is short

From birth to grave

I strive in vain

My life to save

Eternity

He lets me choose

If my life

I give to loose

Though this pain

Cuts like a knife

I choose to give

My short lived life

What I gave

Seemed great in cost

But I gained more

Than what I lost

The life I lost

Did not compare

With what my Lord

And I now share

Now I see

Through my Lord's eyes

One does not live

Until self dies

"May we remember as parents that we are His children, and that He is about the business of changing our hearts, of repairing our ruins, of remaking us. And though He has not finished with us, He has placed in our care His children. May He in His grace keep our hearts aflame for these children. May He give us minds like steel traps that we would never be distracted, that we would not forsake our calling. May He, the great Steward, make us faithful stewards of children, the most precious gifts, of which is the kingdom of God." RC Sproul, Jr.

About Me:

I've been married to my husband since January of 1987. In November of that year our first daughter arrived. Twenty-one years and seven children later, we are living a full life in rural Tennessee. Our children are ages 22, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13 and 9. We've homeschooled from the start ~ back when two little girls sat at their desks filling out preschool workbooks. Boy, have we learned a lot! Now we don't own any desks at all but instead we prefer to gather at the large kitchen table or in the living room with cozy blankets and hot tea to read many wonderful books. I really do love my life!
