But one of the things I always loved about my mom was that I never knew if she'd say yes or no! My friends would say, "Oh, my mom will never say yes," but I knew MY mom would consider each request separately and decide, and it might be yes!susieloulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596148433489612550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-90788016912280862552011-11-07T11:06:09.271-06:002011-11-07T11:06:09.271-06:00Thank you for being real.

This post touched my heart, as I have a child (all of mine are adopted) that needs to hear my 'yes' more often, too. <br />-kAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-63316263715865986182011-10-20T20:59:04.893-05:002011-10-20T20:59:04.893-05:00That's excellent, excellent!

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ."

It was powerful. I have been doing better with it, but it's still a struggle for me. I do see the difference in my kids when I am "on," though, and that is a powerful motivator....after I've had my coffee, I mean. :-)MRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273667096816207202noreply@blogger.com
