And it has Biblical backing, "...if God be for us, who can be against us?"<br /><br />@Chase: Unexpected bumps are bothersome. I think the key is not to let them become worrisome. (But sometimes, that's difficult.) I think having a child-like faith in our Father helps. (My dog, Heidi, is certainly full-sized.)<br /><br />@Dennis: Indeed the "enclave" is my newly fenced-in side yard. I like having get-aways, even if I don't use them daily, I feel better knowing I can.<br /><br />@MissH: Glad you liked the imagery: I did too. Thanks for the consolations re: football. I know I'm not alone, and I know I'm not the worse. Part of the human psyche just doesn't like losing. But life has dis-appointments that dis-courage us, even when we know better. That's why we need regular en-couragement.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070578562535678950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-68656007152035676712009-10-01T11:24:12.064-07:002009-10-01T11:24:12.064-07:00Don-

The image is powerful and relatable. <br /><br />Sorry about your teams. If it's any consolation (although you already found some) The New Chapter is a HUGE football fan and can get pretty bent out of shape when the Packers don't do well. In other words, you are definitely NOT alone! :)Mrs. Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709204383276074686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-21093158894260318692009-09-30T09:09:07.460-07:002009-09-30T09:09:07.460-07:00I've used the lifting up of the head image and...I've used the lifting up of the head image and the stubborn child who would rather be left to pout.

We are so lucky that we know that He is there to lift us up.
