Blondie, praying for you and your daughter. (((Hugs)))
Thank you for all your prayers.
Blondie - my heart aches for you when I hear that you are having a hard time. You uplift us daily so I can only hope to do the same for you every once in awhile.
Psalm 56:8 “God knows our troubles and our wanderings, stores all our tears in a bottle, has counted each one of them, and they are recorded in the Book.”
While I don't know what is hurting your heart and bringing tears to your eyes, please be assured that the women here understand difficult time and we are here for you. You are in my heart and in my prayers. Hang in there - you are a woman of God and He has you in his hands. Hugs and hugs and hugs!
By the way - Happy Veterans Day to all of you. Our past and present service members and their families are in my prayers daily.
Praying for my SR and those who has just started Week 4 Day 1; may he continue stead fast, with courage, strength, and confidence to push through and finish.
God Bless to those who have served our country, thank you for all of your sacrifices.
Thank you all for your comments, your hugs and your prayers. We are finding that miracles are everywhere actually! I praise God every single day that my son is still on this earth with us and there have been a couple of opportunities that could have definitely changed this fact. He fought very hard to stay in the Navy and actually got reinstated to Fit for Full duty after 4 surgeries, but now he can no longer be deployed since he is on a medication that suppresses his immune system - therefore, end of the navy road for him. But certainly just a new beginning. I know that God has an amazing plan for my son - and he will always have a warriors heart and fighting spirit. I know that he has the what it takes to accomplish his goals. Healing comes in many forms, I see healing in his spirit rather than his body, which is true healing if you think about it. He knows that someday God will put someone in his life that needs his understanding and the strength he has gained from this experience, and he will be ready to offer what is needed. I'm so proud of him. He will always be my hero.
Blondie - found the book 'The Four Doors' by Richard Paul Evans so I'll read it first and then suggest it to him. And you are Memorial Day, we are Labor Day! :-) Weddings are so much fun!
