Thy Will be done

Mizpah for September 22nd

Thy Will be done. Matthew 6:10

Father adored! Thy holy will be done,
Low at Thy feet I lie;
Thy loving chastisement I would not shun,
Nor from Thy anger fly.
My heart is weak, but weaned from all beside,
And to Thy will resigned whate'er betide.

Madame Guyon


The Mizpah for today is a photograph of my fathers home place from the far Western corner of the property. This was the side that my father several years ago said would be mine, with the house and middle my sisters, and the side nearest Williston, my brothers.
With the signing of the foreclosure certified letter on Monday, the Nutter Company wanting the full amount for the property, over $250 thousand, it will not be too long before all this is a "foregone" conclusion.
Thus, the poem by Madame Guyon I felt fit right in with the photograph, a low angle of the beauty berries, as low in somberness I stooped to take it. And I question, am I truly resigned and weaned from all else beside the will of God? That is the difficult thing to determine for at times I continue to harbor such strong resentment, and at others, a detached, let it go, let it go attitude.
Thy will be done.
