Out of the mouths of babes...

This week (and last week, too) I've been overwhelmed, as does happen... with balancing work and motherhood, with concern for the trials of friends and loved ones, with lack of sleep, the ever-growing pile of "to be graded"... This morning I arrived at my tutoring job and before we got started, one of the girls told me she had finished her Bible memory work. I asked her to recite it for me, and this was the passage:

Isaiah 40:28-31
28 "Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."

Amen and amen.
