With a Grateful Prayer…

By Lorraine

…and a Thankful Heart. Yes, that is the name of my blog and it is also how we are feeling as an answer to a long awaited prayer has come. We are most grateful and thankful to the One whose promises never fail.
God… acts on behalf of those who wait for him
Isaiah 64:4
♥
I so resonate with this song by Tenth Avenue North. I have had many moments with the same plea as we waited.
Even when it didn’t feel like it, He continued to

Hold My Heart

“There are times when things look very dark to me — so dark that I have to wait even for hope. A long-deferred fulfillment carries its own pain, but to wait for hope, to see no glimmer of a prospect & yet refuse to despair; to have nothing but night before the casement & yet to keep the casement open for possible stars; to have a vacant place in my heart & yet to allow that place to be filled by no inferior presence — that is the grandest patience in the universe.

George Matheson

    Rejoicing with you for your answer to prayer! I love that song! I've never heard it before. I'm going to share it with a friend of mine who is struggling.

    Love those hydrangeas!!! Growing up we had so many of these plants at our house in Queens. They would bloom with so many beautiful colors. I've always loved this flower.

    Enjoy your day!

    The hydrangeas are beautiful and so is the post. Though the wait is sometimes long and hard, our prayers are always answered.
