A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
(Pro 17:22)

She riseth also while it is yet night; her candle goeth not out by night. (Prov. 31: 15 & 17)

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. (Prov. 31:27)

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. (Psa 26:2)

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. (Prov 31:26)

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psa. 19:14)

Genesis 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee (Gen. 3:16).

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world (John 16:21).

Isa 66:7-13

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem (Isa 66:7-13).

1 Chron. 29:10-19

1 Chron. 29:10-19

For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own (1 Chron. 29:14b,16).

(10) Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said,

Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
(11) Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
(12) Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
(13) Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

(14) But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
(15) For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
(16) O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.

(17) I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

(18) O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
(19) And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.

Deu. 6:1-25

Deu. 6:1-25

(1)  Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
(2)  That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
(3)  Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
(4)  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
(5)  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
(6)  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
(7)  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
(8)  And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
(9)  And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

(10)  And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
(11)  And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
(12)  Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
(13)  Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
(14)  Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
(15)  (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
(16)  Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
(17)  Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
(18)  And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
(19)  To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

(20)  And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
(21)  Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
(22)  And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
(23)  And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

(24)  And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
(25)  And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

2 Tim. 1:5

I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also (2 Tim. 1:5).
Jeg glemmer ikke din oppriktige tro. Denne tro bodde først i din mormor Lois, og i din mor Eunike, og jeg er viss på at den også bor i deg (2 Tim. 1:5).

Isaiah 49:15

Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you (Isa. 49:15).
Kan en kvinne glemme sitt diende barn og ikke ha ømhet for sønnen hun fødte? Og selv om en mor kan glemme, så vil jeg aldri glemme deg (Jes. 49:15).

Galatians 4:19

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you (Gal. 4:19).
Mine barn, som jeg igjen må føde med smerte til Kristus får skikkelse i dere (Gal. 4:19).

Isaiah 8:18

Lo, here am I, and the children that YOU have given me (Is. 8:18).
Se, her er jeg, og de barna som Herren har gitt meg (Jes. 8:18).

Psalm 84:3b

Ev'n Thine own altars, where [I] safe
[my] young one forth may bring,
O Thou almighty Lord of hosts,
who art my God and King!

Psalter 84:3b

Col. 1:16a,17

For by Him were all things created, ... And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Col. 1:16a, 17).
For i Ham er alt blitt skapt, ... Han er før alle ting, og i Ham blir alt holdt sammen. (Kol. 1:16a, 17).

Acts 17:28

For det er i Ham vi lever, og beveger oss, og er til (Apg. 17:28).
For in Him we live, and move, and have our being (Acts 17:28).

Når jeg er bekymret, sier mannen min bestandig, Ikke bekymre deg, det ordner seg. Han har rett alltid. "Vær ikke bekymret for noe! Men la alt som ligger dere på hjertet, komme fram for Gud i bønn, og kall på ham med takk!" (Fil. 4:7)

Nå er jeg alt i min femte måned. For ingen ting er umulig for Gud. Dette har Han gjørt for meg. :)

[Sønnen min!] Over alle ting ønsker jeg at du i alle deler må ha det godt og være ved god helse, likesom din sjel har det godt (3 Joh 2).
