I met my husband while I was a missionary in Hong Kong. He had swum out of China after the Cultural Revolution. We have been married 32 years and have four children (2 biological and 2 adopted), ages 22-30. My mother also lives with us (she just turned 90). I am truly a blessed woman.

"The unsearchable riches of Christ"

I am poor and needy; yet the Lord

thinketh upon me.

I KNOW the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.--My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

How precious . . . are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.--O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.--Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward.

Not many mighty, not many noble, are called.--Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom?--Having nothing, and yet possessing all things.--The unsearchable riches of Christ.
