They had had an Easter Egg Hunt and the bird had woven all the different colored plastic grass from the kids' baskets into her nest. I think that when God cleans out all the junk, He fixes us up too.<br /><br />AMDGJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069018443486415173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-59601503036287154122015-12-04T08:51:49.892-06:002015-12-04T08:51:49.892-06:00Janet, that comment was mine.

Sometimes it feels that I've made such a mess of things that even God must be disgusted BUT this reminds me that in His great Mercy I can start over with a clean nest. In the 'virginal sense' I am made new and restored to experience Peace and Joy. What a great God.

I'm about halfway through the Fiat chapter and it's interesting--I've picked up that book, read a bit, and put it down again several times, but this time I'm really getting involved.

Then I came to the phrase "doubts, anxieties and fears" -- I can certainly do with some heavy-duty shoveling out of those chunks of broken glass and rubbish. I love the image of seeing myself as if I had just come out of God's hand. That will be of real help, I think. Thank you. I, too, will "sit with that a while."Marynoreply@blogger.com
