While I try to figure out what to share with you next, I encourage you to go over to Your Sacred Calling to read a VERY encouraging post…especially soothing if you are in the midst of any kind of pain in your heart. I’ll post a teaser here…and then you can follow the link below to read the rest.

Mary Love, the wife of the seventeenth century Puritan preacher, Christopher Love, is an inspiration to me. Not because she possessed within herself any great and wonderful strength or passion, but because she didn’t.
By her own admission she was a mere sinful, mortal wife. Just like the rest of us, any good or noble character she possessed was a reflection of God’s mercy in her life and not her own merit.
Mary, pregnant with their fifth child (two had already gone to be with the Lord), was a devoted wife who was deeply in love with her husband, Christopher Love. When he was charged and sentenced to death for treason, Mary faithfully petitioned parliament four times – requesting a pardon, banishment and, in desperation, begging to be executed in her husband’s place.
