In fact God prefers that we do all things in private and not as hypocrites "on the corners of streets that they may be seen by men." (Matt.6:5) "He knows the things we have need of before you ask." (Matt. 6:8) You are grieving the way you should, the way that God wants you to. And please understand that no matter how much it hurts and how bad it feels, you have made it through each one not because you are strong, but because God was with you all along. James may be your rock, but god is your foundation. While you lean on James, you are standing on god's foundation. And i know it hurts, but we all know that God has his own schedule and purpose for our lives. Just stand firm in knowing we are all here for a purpose, no matter the ties we've made, we are here as god's children and must go when he calls. And if James is slowing down a bit, it just means it is your turn to be his rock. Celebrate the time we all have here together on earth, and know that you will never be alone as long as you have faith in the Lord.a.k.a.

God knows your needs, He'll respond; He knows His plans for you, plans for you to prosper and do good. <br />I'm not much on crying and carrying on in public; Dave and I were, and I am, very private. Several people have suggested I join a "grief counseling group"... shudder! The though appalls me, I simply cannot imagine telling people...strangers...I don't know about Dave. God will get me through this; the prayers of righteous people standing in the gap will get me through.<br />As they will YOU and James. Christ sits on the right hand of His/Our Father and intercedes for you/us. Others intercede for you and James; God has never failed nor will He fail. <br />The last quote on my Sabbath Keeping entry earlier this week says, ""While we are mourning the loss of our friend, <br />others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil". John Taylor is SO right...we mourn and others rejoice...God is a great God.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239067485157195893.post-55839801322009726072012-03-03T09:32:41.965-06:002012-03-03T09:32:41.965-06:00My prayers are with you both, Loretta.My prayers are with you both, Loretta.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239067485157195893.post-60608461780571031902012-03-02T22:01:06.785-06:002012-03-02T22:01:06.785-06:00Lovely entry in your diary and I know your blog re...Lovely entry in your diary and I know your blog readers appreciate the share.

We looked alike, acted alike, and had so much fun togethe. She was like a sister. <br />I am so sorry that your husband isn't feeling well. Maybe the tests will show what can be done to help him. HIs knee sounds painful. If he checks out tokay could he get that taken care of. I hope that you can find someone to deal with all of this......you have to worry about yourself and that you are still mending.
