Wow, such a powerful message! When we come to the realization that God was with us in our darkest moments and kept us from further harm is mind blowing. I can look back over my life and see this over and over and it brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful episode, thank you ❤🙏
As someone with 3 sisters, definitely agree with Beth! Unconditional love doesn’t necessarily come with the sisters. I actually wonder if that’s possible for anyone other than God. Beth, I’m also one who didn’t feel love in childhood but feel God’s love so strongly, I loved that you brought that up that it might be a grace because how would we know that feeling having never felt it before? Regarding the service/support role, as a mom, I know that when I spent a lot of time serving and supporting outside of the home, I was very whiny AT home about having to do more. When I refocused that energy to my husband and kids, I realized we only have a certain capacity and as mothers, our support and service should primarily be with our family when it’s young and as they mature, we’ll have more time for people outside the home. Lastly, I read this in Frankenstein yesterday and it struck me as so relevant to this conversation: “But I have one want which I have never yet been able to satisfy; and the absence of the object of which I now feel as a most severe evil. I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy; if I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavour to sustain me in dejection. I shall commit my thoughts to paper, it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling. I desire the company of a man who could sympathise with me; whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a friend. I have no one near me, gentle yet courageous, possessed of a cultivated as well as of a capacious mind, whose tastes are like my own, to approve or amend my plans. How would such a friend repair the faults of your poor brother!” I too am praying for a good faith-filled female friend to walk alongside. 🙏🏻 Thank you for your beautiful ministry and podcast! My girls and I got good laugh out of the opening, that’s how our conversations go, including time homeschooling! 😂
