Life of the Beloved is wonderful, so is Here and Now. I have read a couple more and they are all amazing, in my opinion.

It’s the highest honor. If only we could grasp the implications of our identity when life gets rough. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve never read any of Nouwen’s works. I’ll have to add one of his books to my list of things-to-read. Any suggestions?

I love Psalm 139. I go back to it often!

Isn’t that picture great?! The look totally captures what happened with my own son.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are God’s precious treasures. HE created US for HIS purposes. What a high honor to be HIS CHILD.

He knit ME together in my mother’s womb. I am beautifully and wonderfully made!!!!

It is so hard to get out of! Henri Nouwen is a great one to read in those times, and the Psalms.
