It's an acknowledgement that THIS (whatever this is) is the arena of my battle to win a crown.

Christmas is a hard time because we are often reminded of memories, sometimes ones of people now gone, sometimes of things that once were commonplace in our lives but are gone now. <br /><br />I do not know what it is like to live with schizophrenia or watch a loved one suffer from it, but I do know bi polar disorder, alcholism, depression and others. None of it is easy. But I fully believe God never gives us more than we can handle. We ourselves may not realize we can handle it but God, the all knowing, He knows we can.<br /><br /><br />@ thegeekywife<br />I think it could have different meanings for different people, but for me, it means to turn it over to God's will, to acknowledge that it is in His hands and no one else's, He alone can help you with your turmoils.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435610766339085934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-50956191746215658222009-12-17T22:35:56.357-08:002009-12-17T22:35:56.357-08:00What does it mean to "offer it to the Lord&qu...What does it mean to "offer it to the Lord"?
