I do not like how people treat marriage vows these days as if it’s just another walk in the park.

When things seem difficult, as they sometimes can, I am very uplifted by the focus you have on Jesus. Real comfort verses for me is found in Lamentations 3: 22-23.<BR/>'It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. they are NEW every morning: great is thy faithfulness."<BR/><BR/>You may be sitting in one spot, but your refreshing reminders to keep our eyes on Jesus are moving around in many places.<BR/><BR/>Thank you from all of us -- and showers of blessings to you and your family.<BR/><BR/>marilyn and bob mcdonough<BR/>some of your HGT friendsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124630000344239230.post-68234077183046986882008-04-23T19:55:00.000-04:002008-04-23T19:55:00.000-04:00I signed in using my daughter's email account.

Sometimes it is helpful to email or talk with another who has similar struggles, maybe the same idea as AA.<BR/><BR/>Clare Adamsmaddie101artsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520860855222568013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124630000344239230.post-49449284801069834912008-04-23T19:53:00.000-04:002008-04-23T19:53:00.000-04:00I just want to keep encouraging you.

He will give you enough to do what is most important for this day.<BR/><BR/>when I was going through radiation with chemo, I started to really tire after the second week. By the fourth week, I spent a lot of time in the recliner. The last three weeks and the next month I was pretty much napping in the recliner or bed. It was Christmas time, and I really wanted to be present with my kids while they were on break from school.<BR/><BR/>What I did the most was read, nothing heavy as I could not process it. I read to my son, read some light material, magazines, Christmas stories. And you know what, my kids enjoyed vacation with me just fine. My husband went and picked out a tree with the kids. I came down and watched them decorate. It worked out fine.<BR/><BR/>What I know now is that even though I wanted to do more, God provided me with all the energy to do enough.<BR/><BR/>I pray he grants you enough energy to be present in today and live well enough with your family.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I still pray to live to see my son graduate high school, too. He is only in first grade, 7 years old. It's OK to ask God. I also know I am in his hands. It is truly His Will. Sometimes it is hard to just be fully present and not worry, but I try. All we can do is try. We are imperfect humans, doing the best we can to live like Jesus.<BR/><BR/>Blessings over you and your family.maddie101artsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520860855222568013noreply@blogger.com
