Psalm 126

One of my belove Psalms - Psalm 126. This is also our church's palm.

Recalling my path over these 4 years, it is HIM who took me out from my slavery (physically, mentally and spiritually). In mid 2003, I conceived a vision of rebuilding my HOME with god's love and teachings. "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy!" Though literally, my HOME is restructed into a HOME for 3 not a perfect 4, we live really happily and joyfully with love and frankness, we can even accommodate and invite the "4" in our weekly gathering and sometimes, the "5" (with dad's grandmother) or even 6 or 7 (including the dad's brother and sister-in-law). If not for the love of God, nor HE loves me first, how can I step out to forgive and to build up a joyful SINGLE PARENTING home. In parallel, I can even have my dream and an action plan to make my dream come real. Psalm 126 gives me not just a miraculous joy but a vision. Psalm 126:6 , "He who continually goes forth weeping, beaing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. " How sheaves are to be reapt without the death of a seed?

CL thought Psalm 126 being short and she can't grasp much conviction from it. To her understanding, the Psalm depicted someone who are extremely joyful and excited about the great deed done by God. In comparison , she may not have experienced such a great joy because she is not self-contented enough????

Psalm 126 gives VL a clear thought about what she anticipates to reap in 5-year, in 10-year. What perseveres and persists? Career Vs relationship with te extended family members (beyond the core family)? What should I build up for this long-term investment now? To me God really loves VL. God gives her a heart which is quick to u-turn and please gives her conviction and courage to work it out - the action plan.
