A Bittersweet Dichotomy...



Denise left a comment on my last entry that I had to agree with. She said that she had just read
a statement that said,"Parents cry when their kids are doing great things," and that our
children are doing great things for God.
So true for us POMS and this situation gives an illustration of this statement.
In the same e-mail that Michele told me about Joel she also told me that the people were responding positively to the Acts movie in their own language.
Praise God....
I found myself thanking God with joy, and praying for the people who are watching
while in the same sitting crying and praying over my adorable, precious , loving grandson who has worms.
What a bittersweet dichotomy.
In order to accept it I have to leave my feelings with a powerful loving God
These are his people both my missionary family and the Ni Vanuatu that they serve.
