Take Up Your Cross - Emma McGinniss

beautiful and well said all the best for you and your family

Emma is amazing. I wish that I had had a fraction of the wisdom she shows in her life’s journey. When I was raising the five blessings which were entrusted to me, many years ago.
Thank you for sharing your profoundly moving story.

Thank you for sharing. I have a grandson who has been having problems like you before birth. He has so many major things wrong with him. He is almost 3 and has a team of six doctors waiting to do a surgery that has only been done one time before. But I think we forget sometimes what a family goes through.when they have a child with daily medical needs. She also has two other children to worry about. And a hubby and full time job. Your story ment a lot to me!

Thank you Emma for sharing your personal heartfelt truth..You have such a beautiful enduring mother’s heart, the substance of your consistent parenting has been a privilege to listen too.

Dear Emma Thankyou for your amazing message I have a grand daughter with cerebral palsy, and I do pray that she will walk and talk, I pray for a miracle everyday, I needed to hear that God thinks she is perfect, I do actually believe that she is. God bless you in your journey Amen

I understood take up your cross in a whole new way after this word today Emma.
I became a Christian as a young teenager and this year I am 65 years old.
For the first time I feel unafraid of embracing the cross.
Thank you so much for sharing your precious story. X Sonia ❤️

Thank you for sharing the story of your very personal cross Emma. Hannah is blessed that God chose you and your husband to be her parents and I pray that she will always be a great blessing in your lives. May God give me the grace to take up my cross daily knowing that He is my strength and my song. God bless you all this Easter ✝️🙏🏻🐣

I did not think Good Friday would bring me such a lovely gift. I am a newer member and this was my first time hearing this message. Like. Many others here I felt this was meant for me to hear. Thank you Emma and Hannah.

Wow. Thank you Emma for sharing your story. I will share for as I too have a grown daughter with M.S. Our faith and God certainly does make the difference. Have a Blessed Easter. Hugs and prayers to Hanna and your family. In Jesus name Amen.

A beautiful message of hope! I better understand my why and the person who I’ve become. I pray that I can pick my cross this Good Friday and beyond and bring God into my life more and more each day. I pray for forgiveness and healing. Thank you Emma for sharing your loving, courageous story. Amen

Thank you Emma! Very powerful message. Again thank uou. I listened to this message last year on Good Friday and I think carrying our cross and following Jesus really rang so clear this time. May God Bless you and your beautiful Emma.💕🙏

Thank you Emma for sharing your “story”, your vulnerability and your heart with us. I’Il pray for you and your beautiful family and especially, Hannah. And yes, we all have cross to bear and my strength comes from knowing that God will accompany me on this journey .

Beautiful story of a child that is loved. Tears are not something that should be looked down on as a weakness but a healing of our hearts. They are also blessings. Pray on for your family and Hannah.

Thank you Emma for sharing your story. You story helps us all to understand & be able to bear our cross better. Happy Easter to you & your family.

Thank you Emma for sharing your story and praying with us to carry our crosses. What a beautiful soul you are. God blessed Hannah with you for her mother! Good bless you and your family.

Thank you, Bruce, for making this one of the best Lents! You have a gift and thank you for sharing it!

Thank You Emma for sharing your story!! You touched my heart! May God bless you and your family!! You Truly are an inspiration to all!! My mom has a disability. She is blind and I have finally accepted her and love her for who God made her to be. It saddens me that she has never been able to see her grandson ( 13 1/2 years old). I have to carry my cross and give my mom love, kindness and acceptance always.❤️❤️

What a beautiful message of take up your cross. I learned something new….As I was listening to the message it made sense to me….as if a light bulb went off. I cried as if I felt her burden being lifted as your granddaughter lifted her cross and I needed to lift my cross. Thank you for all your message during this Lent season. In the beginning of this journey you mentioned it will change you…..And yes it did ❤️

Emma,
What an experience you are sharing! Thank you for showing me how to follow God and not insist in my humanness that I know the way. You are a strong courageous woman and Hannah is so blessed to have you as her mother. God placed her in your heart and life because He trusted that you would provide the love and you would provide for her additional needs lovingly and without showing sacrifice or burden. May God continue to lead you and your family.
God Bless You

You are an inspiration to us all. Bless you in your cross with young Hannah. May I be as brave and strong to face my crosses

What an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing. Very good explanation of picking up your cross and following. Bless you and your family.

What a wonderful reminder thank you so much for sharing your story Emma.
And I would like to thank you Bruce and your team for the daily devotions., each day I sit and listen to them and have a deeper understanding of the scriptures as you have managed to unpack them in such a simple way. You are made for presenting Gods word. Thank you once again. I wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Thank you so much. Such a blessing.

Thank you Emma. I’d heard your history before in one of Bruce’s daily devotionals ages ago. I already understood some of how your life must have changed from your expectations (I’m a lawyer, spent many years as a disability service board member [volunteer role stemming from my employer being a service’s honorary solicitor] and my husband managed a disability service for some years). The day that God gives the grace of what I understand to be His peace in our prevailing circumstances – i.e. setting aside your “lawyerly” mindset to “research and solve” issues, shifting from seeking a “preferred outcome”… Read more »

Oh, Emma, your story touched me so much. I know I also do have my cross that I have to carry every day. Thanks for sharing. All of the best for Hannah, she is your princess.

Beautiful you have given me understanding, thanks be to god
