"Who healeth all thy diseases."-Psalm 103:3
    
    Humbling as is the statement, yet the fact is certain, that we are all more or less suffering under the disease of sin. What a comfort to know that we have a great Physician who is both able and willing to heal us! Let us think of Him awhile to-night. His cures are very speedy-there is life in a look at Him; His cures are radical-He strikes at the centre of the disease; and hence, His cures are sure and certain. He never fails, and the disease never returns. There is no relapse where Christ heals; no fear that His patients should be merely patched up for a season, He makes new men of them: a new heart also does He give them, and a right spirit does He put with them. He is well skilled in all diseases. Physicians generally have some specialite. Although they may know a little about almost all our pains and ills, there is usually one disease which they have studied above all others; but Jesus Christ is thoroughly acquainted with the whole of human nature. He is as much at home with one sinner as with another, and never yet did He meet with an out-of-the-way case that was difficult to Him. He has had extraordinary complications of strange diseases to deal with, but He has known exactly with one glance of His eye how to treat the patient. He is the only universal doctor; and the medicine He gives is the only true catholicon, healing in every instance. Whatever our spiritual malady may be, we should apply at once to this Divine Physician. There is no brokenness of heart which Jesus cannot bind up. "His blood cleanseth from all sin." We have but to think of the myriads who have been delivered from all sorts of diseases through the power and virtue of His touch, and we shall joyfully put ourselves in His hands. We trust Him, and sin dies; we love Him, and grace lives; we wait for Him and grace is strengthened; we see Him as he is, and grace is perfected for ever.

Mothering by Heart by Robin Jones Gunn

Mothering by Heart 

This morning I woke at 5:45am. The house was silent. Outside our open window the doves began to coo. I blinked, rolled over and then I remembered. I have treasure tucked away in the guest room downstairs. Both of my grown baby birds and their spouses are here. For the first time since we moved to Hawaii all of us are together in this tropical nest. Last night when I slipped into bed the four of them were still out on the lanai, talking in hushed tones and laughing under the stars. 

Oh, the bliss of the golden moments of motherhood. 

The section above is the start of my blog post from 2012. It’s the third part in a series I’ve run this week on “Mothering by Heart”. It's been so sweet to hear your responses as you’ve shared stories from your own journey in the land of mothering.

If you missed the blog posts why not make yourself a cuppa' tea and pop over for a gentle read on Mothering by Heart. The links are below.
