We only have 5 children (just had #5 on 11/10) but it is such an inspiration to see how you handle so many more so gracefully and with so much love. You are a blessing, God bless you!Kristihttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/andersonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-40217838555761245582009-11-26T22:43:51.346-07:002009-11-26T22:43:51.346-07:00Thank you for sharing! <br /><br />LOVE the pics!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />TeenaTeenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04582391374202077005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-60549974937040563092009-11-26T06:05:40.027-07:002009-11-26T06:05:40.027-07:00Hello Lockwoods,<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving Day from the States!

I get so frustrated with myself because I tell myself that I won&#39;t let it happen again, and then I fall into the trap again. But the Lord&#39;s tender mercies are renewed daily and for that I am forever thankful. I truly am a work in progress!<br /><br />Again, thank you for your transparency.Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08204739820597564035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-80203690469918294772009-11-25T13:45:53.143-07:002009-11-25T13:45:53.143-07:00Thank you for your words today. The wisdom you shared is needed in my life right now. Our church is hurting right now due to the sins of our youth pastor. He has been fired, but the last 5months have been hurtful and damaging. I need to remember to let go of bitterness, and live free in Jesus.<br />The girls look adorable.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12983269908664529280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-22060162126779896182009-11-25T13:36:18.402-07:002009-11-25T13:36:18.402-07:00Thank you for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-1693704541198995572009-11-25T08:31:26.805-07:002009-11-25T08:31:26.805-07:00It&#39;s so true that our bitterness - even over petty things - stems from lack of thankfulness. Discontentment can breed such nasty attitudes. Thanks, Jaynee, for letting us see your sweet, thankful spirit - you are such an example to us. Thanks also for sharing posts like this with us that show us you really are human. :)Gwen Toliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094959197761222086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-5455087287236806212009-11-25T04:00:20.071-07:002009-11-25T04:00:20.071-07:00That was sooo very beautiful, as that same thing happened to me this morning. As I sat writing something important, I realized how just silly I was. But for those few hours, I was ready to justify my hurt and make the day quite miserable. I did call and make amends with that person.<br /><br />The thing I struggle with most at times is the jealousy of certain members of my family that have had a Mom/Dad stay together and a family. Sometimes I&#39;ll just, like you said, let it sit and I&#39;ll have it reminded to me over and over again that I didn&#39;t have that great family, or Mom/Dad. And then towards a family member who did absolutely nothing, but got a letter or phone call from their family, I&#39;ll get completely upset at them. And not speak to them for a while. It&#39;s silly, but I&#39;m sooo happy for them it hurts. <br /><br />I&#39;ve really struggled with letting my past go and focusing on the fact that God is my Father and He has provided soo much in my life and for our family. :)Sonjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142123239413029768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-53875028362178341062009-11-24T20:22:13.207-07:002009-11-24T20:22:13.207-07:00I love the quote by Amy Carmichael. How I need to stay filled with the Lord&#39;s sweetness and how many times I have failed. We serve a precious Father. It is interesting and very common to read about how you &quot;accepted Jesus as Savior&quot; but then only really understood that you were actualy deserving of hell but by God&#39;s amazing grace. This testimony is so often heard. Personally, it caused my husband and I to re-evaluate the common push in some circles to quickly evenly urgently to get the children saved. Not that we do not desire Salvation but so many over the years pray a prayer to accept Jesus never fully seeing themselves as a sinner and then either struggle questioning their Salvation or walk around with a false assurance. Blessings to you as you choose to keep letting the Lord fill your cup I know I need mine filled with his sweetness.<br /><br />Blessings - and the jumpers are adorable. By the way, we are so thankful to be accepting another baby in July. <br /><br />Sj<br />www.babyhomepages.net/tenlittleinionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-18494960336386085432009-11-24T20:20:29.751-07:002009-11-24T20:20:29.751-07:00Oh Jaynee~ big {{hugs}} to you.

Don&#39;t talk about the grievance, i.e., don&#39;t rehash it.<br /><br />2. Don&#39;t think about the grievance. When it comes to mind, discipline yourself to forget it, and give it to God.<br /><br />3. Never bring it up to the person who wronged you, e.g., &quot;Remember when&quot;...fill in the blank.<br /><br />This stuff is never easy, but God promised that He would empower us to be obedient to His Word. Dying to self is still tough. As our pastor pointed out, &quot;God isn&#39;t interested in our comfort, He&#39;s interested in our character.&quot;<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving.<br /><br />CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28568561.post-48671686766684041322009-11-24T15:46:00.528-07:002009-11-24T15:46:00.528-07:00Your sharing is so sweet and pure, Jaynee. I can relate so well - after a time of struggling with a bad attitude, I find it hard to forgive myself for my pettiness and anger. But God is our dear Father - and he treats us like precious children. You expressed your love for your little ones: isn&#39;t it comforting to know that God loves us in the same way and is just as ready to forgive us as we are to forgive our erring children? :)<br />I&#39;ll be praying that you will be feeling better soon so you can meet your family&#39;s needs with strength. <br />Jennyjennstarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13623511793461013804noreply@blogger.com
