Copper Lovin'

So Copper has this major effect on Peter.  Few other people/things do this for Peter.  Being with Copper brings out the sweetest side of Peter.  I am trying to focus on that b/c Peter has been a hand full for me recently.  He overwhelms me and frustrates me.  Things seems out of control.  But I know they aren't.  Jesus holds us in His care and doesn't let us go... He holds Peter and He holds me.  God help me to yield!

"O Love that will not let me go" has been going thru my head... and good thing it is... it reminds me that He holds onto us, b/c I'm not holding on well.  I feel as overwhelmed with my inability to be patient as I am with his (and her) behavior and attitude.

"I'll help you, Copper."

 "Don't worry, Copper.  Peter is here.  I love you."

And Lily does & says everything her big brother does.

O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

 O light that followest all my way,

I yield my flickering torch to thee;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.
