I have a son who went through alot of saddness and feelings of rejection as did my 2 daughters. 2 years ago he gave his life to Jesus and man what a change ! He is in Thailand right now and has been all summer. He has decided to go into full time missions after college. One of my daughters is in India right now for 2 weeks. She and her new sweet Godly husband are youth ministers at a local church. God was quick to bless me after my husband left us. He has given me a wonderful godly man who I cant imagine ever living without!

Sometimes I feel so far behind where you are. I know we are not to compare but after a year of being without beloved I feel I should be ahead more than I am. <BR/><BR/>I am where you are in seeing the beauty in the midst of all those ugly ashes but I can't get the view of the ashes out of my heart. Does that make sense? <BR/><BR/>I love seeing the beauty from your eyes. I think it is so precious how you have embraced your stepdaughter and she's embraced all of you though she's never been a "part" of it all. That is so amazing. I know great things will come eventually with the contact David made with Don. <BR/><BR/>God is a brewin', yes He is. <BR/><BR/>He's a brewin' up a wonder blend for both your life and mind. But you are SO right, we need to enjoy the time of brewin' and not just waiting for that first delicious sip. <BR/>Love ya, friend.<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.com
