But the firing line of relationships is no less demanding of a death to self. It's a death we must go through daily. Thank you so much for sharing at the High Calling. I'll be featuring you on Tuesday....Stand by!David Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765017700988820676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-5156841228620562062015-04-26T15:51:16.074-07:002015-04-26T15:51:16.074-07:00Deeply thought provoking reality in your humility ...Deeply thought provoking reality in your humility here, Kim. One thing I appreciate is the mirror image you present with marriage and faith. I see the same mirror held up in parenting as well, though I think there are times where it may seem easier to give up my life for my kids than my husband...because they are my kids. :) In truth as I respect and encourage my husband, because I live to follow Christ, I too must set aside self in this journey so that Christ is glorified and my testimony is strengthed. I am being continually sanctified. <br /><br />Thanks for your encouragement on my blog! It made me think if Descartes' maxim, "Ergo cogito sum", I think, therefore I am. Sometimes I wonder how much our thinking gets in the way of the simple elegance of the gospel message to Love God first, then others. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />DawnDawnhttp://www.journeysingrace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-88168583825754802015-04-24T22:29:19.207-07:002015-04-24T22:29:19.207-07:00Thank you, Betty.
