He tends His flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in His arms and
carries them close to His heart.
He gently leads those that have young.
Isaiah 40:11
Many years ago, my friend Julissa Lynn sent me this verse. At this point, I did not have children and I was very discouraged. I wrote this verse and prayer in my journal on August 15, 1997: “Lord, please bless us with children and gently lead us.” My husband and I now have three children and He has gently led us.

You are a constant inspiration. I love this verse now that you have pointed it out. I’d never thought too much about it before. It’s a good prayer and a reminder to be patient with gentle guidance. THAT’S HARD!
I would like to welcome my niece, Averil Marie Kendrick to the world. May God give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4
