I Tim. 6:6
A devout life does bring wealth, but it’s the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that’s enough.
Our home is overflowing with college kids, our own children, our friends..
and all of their shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Lord, for these reminders throughout my home…
Reminders that we have enough!
Keep me focused on the “enough-ness” of 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!

You’ve changed my perspective about the shoes my family leaves all over the house. From now on I will see them as reminders that we have enough and that when the road is rough we have protection, when the weather is cold we have warmth for our feet, and when I see those shoes it means that people that I have people that I love in my life.
Man, would I love to have that attitude. Instead of seeing the mess I could see the blessing! Thank you for this.
If shoes are an indication, then we have MORE than enough! Thanks, Tammy for a thoughtful post.

This comment has nothing to do with this post. But I just had to tell you this. I am visiting UK to return my husband’s ashes to his home town.I was walking down a strange street near to where I am staying with friends that I never met till now and I found a PENNY. Then I went to visit a sister in law that I never met and found another PENNY> I though of you immediately and pennies from heaven. Just confirming that God is going before me. How amazing it was.#
