I read your comment on Much2Ponder's last post, and I just wanted to stop by and say hi!<BR/><BR/>I have had a very difficult year health wise, and the thoughts you shared on that blog comment really spoke to me. <BR/><BR/>I read the post and went to leave a comment, and then I saw your words, and they were almost word for word what I was thinking myself.<BR/><BR/>We have had most of our "friends" fall away, and it hurts. But God has brought so many new people into our lives that have made up for our "losses" by leaps and bounds. It hurts though, to feel forgotten, by people we thought we our close friends....like family even.<BR/><BR/>But like I told Pat, that old saying rings true in my life. "God never closes a door without opening a window." And the blessings that I have received through the window have been amazing!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just wanted to say hello!<BR/>Take care and God bless,<BR/>Amy:)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336144938479561819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804038706957774879.post-15893506074758171722008-12-15T01:52:00.000-05:002008-12-15T01:52:00.000-05:00Sheryl, hello!!! sorry I havent stopped buy in a w...Sheryl, hello!!! sorry I havent stopped buy in a while.
