Mary's Musings: Because I'm Unworthy and Bad. That's Why.
http://we-would-see-jesus.blogspot.com/2012/01/because-im-unworthy-and-bad-thats-why.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. Because I'm Unworthy and Bad. That's Why. At our church before we partake in the Lord's Supper we have a bit of time for quiet reflection of our lives. I love this time - time to just be quiet and think. Time to think about my week, my life, my heart. Time to ask myself,. Do I love God as I should? Have I lived a life that pleased God this week? Am I at peace with my fellow man? Is my heart where it should be? On some days {like today} I think regretfully over the week. Jesus, p...

Mary's Musings: September 2011
http://we-would-see-jesus.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 26, 2011. The God of Hope. It was a warm summer day as I was driving across the Midwest. It was just going to be a short trip for some continuing education at a conference. Instead it had become a painful reminder of what wasn't. I drove past places that all haunted me with what could have been. And I remembered what I almost had, only to have it gone. Sometimes it takes seeing what you could. Have to make you realize what you don't. Yes, hope. That was my problem. I hoped too m...A few...

Sunday, October 9, 2011. A New Way to Live. A few months ago, I found the words of this hymn echoing through my heart day after day:. Fill thou my life, O Lord, my God. In every part with praise,. That my whole being may proclaim. Thy being and Thy ways;. Not for the lip of praise alone,. Nor e'en the praising heart. I ask, but for a life made up. Of praise in every part. Praise in the common words I speak,. Life's common looks and tones,. In fellowship at hearth or board. With my beloved ones, -. Praise...

Mary's Musings: November 2011
http://we-would-see-jesus.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2011. Today the Lord reminded me through the kind hands of someone else that I need not fear giving til I have nothing else. Because He gives and gives and gives. As so often happens at our house, today there were unexpected needs - people to serve. I had barely left the house when I got a text for a sweet Christian lady we know. She has a bunch of little boys. I can't imagine that she ever has spare time on her hands, but I've never heard her complain about anything. May I be swift ...

Mary's Musings: The Question of A Disappointed Woman
http://we-would-see-jesus.blogspot.com/2009/02/question-of-disappointed-woman.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. The Question of A Disappointed Woman. We sat alone together,. My empty heart and I -. My lonely heart,. My hungry, cheated heart -. We sat and reasoned why. We asked each other why this thing should be. We argued it together, drearily,. My hungry disappointed heart and I. For we had asked no more. Than other women clamoured for, and got. No, nor so much. We asked a place to store. The right to pour and pour. Life's wine away. We did not want to take,. But life had slipped,.

Friday, April 20, 2012. My life is my dreams. My joys and my mind -. Mine as a coin to trade, I find,. For pleasure - fulfillment - meaning. My life is my hoard. My hope and my wealth -. Mine to give my youth and my health. For pleasure - fulfillment - meaning. My life is smothered. By such a clutch -. Too starved and too crushed to yield me much. Of pleasure - fulfillment - meaning. My life is God's. To break and pour. On thirsty ground, and yield back more. Of pleasure - fulfillment - meaning. Througho...

Looking off unto Jesus," my spirit is blest;. In the world I have turmoil - in Him I have rest;. The sea of my life all about me may roar,.
