In our lives we aren't often called to do anything drastic, but if so -- would I be willing?

Not only do I want to be willing to go ~ do ~ be what He calls me to, but I do *not* want to be like Paul's fellow believers and hold others back from their own call of God. I think of this most particularly when it comes to my children. Very hard.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>By the way, I've been visiting your daughter, Beverly's blog for a little while and finally commented today. May I just say, Maxine, you have an extremely lovely daughter! and (it goes without saying) an adorable granddaughter! :o)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724180634582208804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894677419290387925.post-3840764951014466822007-09-20T23:34:00.000-04:002007-09-20T23:34:00.000-04:00Hey sweet friend.

Daily we must choose whom we will serve. Whether we know it or not, every day our lives on on the line --- either a full life in the center of HIS will or something less than what we've been created for. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront that we all my "think" on it. :)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284165488156415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894677419290387925.post-70302658547167457982007-09-20T11:49:00.000-04:002007-09-20T11:49:00.000-04:00Thanks Maxine for your words.
