An Embarrassment of Riches, feat. Emily Glicksman
Description
Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Annie and Kathryn are very happy to introduce you to their dear friend, Emily Glicksman. Emily comes from a large family and imagined her family would look very similar to her family of origin, but as is often the case, God’s plans for her and her family were different. In all the ups and downs of longing and expectation, Emily’s faith has been the rock and comfort of her life that has led her to see her family, although smaller than she imagined, as “an embarrassment of riches.”
Scripture References: Psalm 23; 2 Corinthians 12:9
Prayer of St. Irenaues
It is not thou that shapest God
it is God that shapest thee.
If thou art the work of God
await the hand of the artist
who does all things in due season.
Offer Him thy heart,
soft and tractable,
and keep the form
in which the artist has fashioned thee.
Let thy clay be moist,
lest thou grow hard
and lose the imprint of his fingers.
- St. Irenaeus
