BEAUTIFUL

I was given one of God's little nugget's again this afternoon. He does this in only the way that He can do, and I am so thankful to Him for doing it!
I was going to visit a new Mom today and encourage her to join us at Edisto this fall. I decided to ask Jennifer to come along, since she is such an encourager, herself. The two husband's got together and had supper, which was a blessing in itself, but to have Jenn alongside to spread her counsel of wisdom and mercy is always a blessing to me. She was able to express directly to this new Mom, the feelings that guilt will play, if she allows it to camp in her heart for long. Jennifer as been down that road more than once, and knows those feelings, so God, in His infinite wisdom, chose Jennifer to come alongside and express those exact feelings that could stave off any future feelings of guilt that she might have.
What a blessing!
Every Mother feels that there just" had" to be something that they could have done to save their child's life....my own included. It's only natural, but it can consume you if you let it. You have to have an outside godly person to remind you, in a gently manner, that guilt is not from the Lord.....over and over, because that's what it takes. Finally they will get it, because their brain is thick and dense from the grief!
The nugget God gave me, though is one I am so grateful for, because Jennifer gave out of her pain and remembrance of her own grief, and only God could have made that possible.
That's what's so remarkable about these Mom's! They allow God to work on them, and they, in turn will let Him work through them, on others!
It is beautiful to watch!
