Thanks to Sue for the pumpkin squares! We sang "How can I thank you, oh Lord, for taking my place on the cross? As long as I have breath I will praise you..." Then we began by relating how our children are doing. We realized that our well-being is integrally connected to what our children are going through. It is good for us as a group to be aware of how we can support each other an pray for all our children.
We continued to discuss events in our lives when we knew that God's hand was sustaining us and leading us, even if it was a long, difficult trial. These are the ideas that were presented:
-God is so kind, so wise and ready to help when we cry out for Him. He uses our friends to help us and encourage us.
-If we have God, nothing else matters. Like Spurgeon, we can say "I've given God everything else, He can have my reputation as well."
-Just how do we thank Him for His incredible love and mercy toward us??
-It's wonderful to lose our inflated sense of self-esteem and gain Christ!
