Wow, that is so true that He gives us that deeper experience of His compassion in the midst of the pain sometimes! And, I have not read the book you mentioned, but it sounds very good! I'm going to have to check it out. --Blessings!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-29102611180287899672016-08-09T12:32:56.313-07:002016-08-09T12:32:56.313-07:00Sorry, meant Tippetts and Jill Lynn ButeynSorry, meant Tippetts and Jill Lynn ButeynAnna Smithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920411905278513062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-63125262923947350742016-08-09T12:31:38.674-07:002016-08-09T12:31:38.674-07:00This is so beautiful, Bettie.

It's like He allows us to experience pain, so that we might know an even deeper experience of His Loving compassion.<br /><br />I'm so sorry for the pain you're experiencing, but I'm thankful you have God near you and a loving husband who helps you seek Him in the quiet of nature.<br /><br />BTW I'm a corner-sitter too: leave me alone and let me get on with it! Have you ever read Just Show Up (Kara Typetts and her friend wrote it)? It was so eye and heart-opening as a corner-sitter!Anna Smithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920411905278513062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-28326483632512349152016-08-06T15:27:37.939-07:002016-08-06T15:27:37.939-07:00Hi Meg,

And, you are right, it is so good to allow myself some grace on the hard days. Thank you for your encouragement! I hope that you are able to find some compass plants close to your new home; fun ways to bring nature into the homeschooling days! --Bless you my friend!!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-84233389986790112982016-08-06T06:42:16.919-07:002016-08-06T06:42:16.919-07:00Bettie, I forgot to tell you I am praying for your...Bettie, I forgot to tell you I am praying for your health too, friend.

I love the way you paint this picture, and it certainly peeked my interest about the compass flower. I am going to have to tell my kids about this one and maybe we can study it for a home school project! I love how God puts things in your path to remind you of truths, just as He did with the butterflies.

What an encouragement!

I'm sorry that you have had these blue days, but what a precious gift from God to have a hubby who sees & understands you. May the Lord continue to carry us through these storms! --Hugs & Blessings!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-8033987424234096032016-08-03T09:59:30.000-07:002016-08-03T09:59:30.000-07:00Bettie,

You might be a corner-sitter, but you also join a sisterhood of online friends when you share your journey with us! I just love the sweet gifts from God that we notice on our walks or as we go about our daily lives that feel as if they are put there just for us to see and feel that God's eyes are upon us, no matter what we're going through. xoxoValerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-44981303510184155872016-08-03T09:18:13.652-07:002016-08-03T09:18:13.652-07:00Thank you for sharing your feelings so honestly, B...Thank you for sharing your feelings so honestly, Bettie. I know that "Not again!" thought. Chronic illness can be so wearing, can't it? I think I might be more of a corner-sitter, too. I try to act strong and hide how I'm feeling. I can never seem to fool my hubby though. I'm so glad Jesus is above our every heartbreak and knows what we're feeling. May we "see above the storm of this day!" I've been feeling kind of blue, so thank you for encouraging me today.
