My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4
I am a wife, mother and daughter of the King. Each role gives my life meaning and purpose. May I never take any of them for granted.
Also on this journey with me:
My husband, The Calm One;
The Cruise Director, ten;
The Affectionate One, eight; and Whirling Dervish, seven.
I recognize that all my blessings come from God, my Heavenly Father. I want to be sure to give Him joyful praise for who He is.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they have been resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. --Frederick Douglass
Men, whether great or small, are still but men, and men are dust. To trust in the many is folly, to rely upon the eminent few is madness; to depend upon the Lord alone is the only sanity.

Woo hoo! Shaking my bowl full of jelly during my happy dance. *Sigh* At least I'll now have yummies without guilt. Sent you an email.
