This time of year can be so beautiful (if you can stay inside and just look out at window!)
But when one son is driving to South Carolina for a conference and another son is driving to Nashville to see his “bride – to- be” for Valentine’s Day and for a job interview (thank you, Lord), the snowy weather seems a little more (or less) than beautiful. It seems a little frightening.
It’s at moments like these when I realize how selfish I can be when I look out my window and think, “OH, HOW BEAUTIFUL!” and don’t give a thought to all who are facing the weather OUTSIDE the comforts of their home.
Lord, forgive me when I see the world only through my small, self-absorbed eyes. Help me always look beyond the view from my window pane so that I can see the world through Your eyes and through the eyes of others…..

Until Monday (I’ll be on the roads this weekend too, so I’ll be seeing this winter wonderland from a totally different perspective myself),
PS When I get back, I will share the journey of our mouse hunt..which is continuing even today.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
