Not Me...Ever part 2

[brownidmom]

Serenity,

I got this in an email this morning and wanted to share ~

"It is a privilege and honor that God is allowing my spouse and I and our marriage to be used this way.
To be used for the purposes of the Kingdom of God so with my present suffering and the future restoration of our marriage our Lord is given the glory He deserves and lives are touched and changed.
Those of us God has asked to stand for our marriages and pray our prodigal spouses home are an honored and privileged few who walk a very special and blessed road.
It is a hard and difficult road, but it is a life-changing, faith changing road.
We are very fortunate."

What a fantastic & positive way to look at this journey

(((Hugs)))

Seems like we must hang around a similar crowd. Yesterday, the woman that I talked to and confided in, after I finished my saga, was smiling from ear to ear with tears in her eyes and said to me, "I am so excited for you. We don't all get the opportunity to be a part of something this big."

At first, I thought she must be crazy and then it occurred to me that she might just be right. If this is a test of faith and of grace, we will pass that test, Serenity. And if we are to help others, including our H's, find their way back to God, our actions are all that can do that. I have realized that my words cannot do anything to improve my sitch at all. My words are what delivered the sting that led my H to put us on this path we are now on.

It really is all about how you look at things. In the words of Dr. Wayne Dyer, " When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Peace and blessings,
