"Just keep asking, 'God, if I can't have what I want, then help me to know what it is that you want me to have.' Know in your heart there is a treasure much greater than the one you have been asking for."
- John E. Welshons as quoted in "Guideposts"
A Treasure
It's painful watching young people casting around for a (marriage) partner. I suppose it brings back too many memories... And its hard not to try to be helpful - but, of course, nobody wants to hear, "That's NOT what you want!" They don't even want to hear "Open your eyes. Maybe its right in front of you."
I didn't want to hear it!
But I'm glad God opened my eyes!

I love that picture of you and John! And I always look forward to reading your blog. God bless you!
Thank you, Linda! I love feedback but I don't get much now that our kids have ceased commenting...
I'm sorry Mommy. I'll try to be a good child and comment more often.
待っているよ！ご感想下さい、Sawaちゃん。
So very glad that God gives us eyes to see...in the words of Wordworth, happy "holiday of the heart"!
I too, feel that although my eyes have been cloudy at times, at difficult and happy times, quiet and busy times, I'm glad that my eyes were turned to Greg.
