Though only forty years old at the time her picture was taken with David on her lap, her face resembled that of a much older women; the expression of a difficult life lived, with much sadness and sorrow. My heart goes out to her for the many griefs she had to bare. At the same time, I can't imagine Joseph's thoughts (from the other side) as he watch Emma traverse through the rest of her mortality life, and as he watched the lives of each of his children as they grew into adulthood and beyond. How he must have often yearned deeply to physically hold them and to comfort them in his arms and loving embrace. Only a parent can understand this love. What a sad and heart-wrenching story indeed; but sadness and fear and worry is ever present in our mortal habitat, that it can often derail those who fail to keep their eyes on the mark--our groom. This is MY take on your post, and if I'm correct, your point is well taken and sinks in deep. Often, it seems, all we can really do is to remember Jesus and to "CRY" unto Him; to reach out for His loving embrace. Thank God for hard times in our live's; they can keep us humble and playable so He can mold us (if we are willing) into something closer to His likeness. Apparently, we are much more apt to look to Him and to remember Him when difficulty comes our way; and to reach out to that peace that ONLY He can give, not the kind of peace the world offers, but His peace which He is so willing to abundantly give to each of us--individually--if we reach out to Him and are willing to receive. Remember to CRY out unto Him and receive His peace! CRY unto Him for His comfort and Holy Spirit; CRY unto Him for knowledge and truth; CRY out unto Him for all our needs; CRY unto Him without ceasing. Look to Him as our protector, just as a new bride looks to her groom for all her needs and protection. Don't just talk to him: CRY to Him as if He is our ALL!!!Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-30082787624654849982014-08-28T23:31:50.712-07:002014-08-28T23:31:50.712-07:00Any good resources?Any good resources?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202912310158630136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-74287144386055853432014-08-28T19:45:19.194-07:002014-08-28T19:45:19.194-07:00I've been studying this exact topic recently. ...I've been studying this exact topic recently.
