Hey Regina,
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts with us. 
It is so easy to make things and people idols in our lives, isn&#039;t it!
So thankful for a gracious and a patient Father!
Blessings to you,
Melanie]]></description>

This was so well said and interestingly of perfect timing.  As I was discussing with my friend in my Ekklesia about the dangers of making our wants and desires an idol, you just confirmed it.  While our heart breaks for the things we want or even need, God must be on our throne and not what we are hoping for.  So happy that the Lord blessed you with these two boys who I am sure is the joy of your life.  God bless.]]></description>
