(A rose blooming in our yard. This beautiful photo was taken by my younger sister. )
"A humble desire is one which leaves everything in God's hands. The man who has it says, 'Now, though I desire this, it may be it is not a right desire. Lord, I desire only to desire what I ought to desire! My desire is that Your desire should be written on my heart, that I may desire what You desire.' Your will be done in my soul, in my body, in my circumstances, and in me, in all respects."
-Charles H. Spurgeon

I'm looking forward to getting your letter Ruth Ann!!! :) :) I know what it's like being busy and not having the time to respond to letters (and emails) at times. :)
"My desire is that Your desire should be written on my heart, that I may desire what You desire."
