I thank God that He has given you this sense of peace that allows you the freedom to experience your mom right now. I will pray that you continue to feel this peace . . . and on the days that you don't, that you are able to embrace the pain with the knowledge that God is there.<BR/><BR/>"Thy Holy wings dear Savior, spread gently over me."The Processhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09096313065106698527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-73152753995318512362007-05-24T20:11:00.000-05:002007-05-24T20:11:00.000-05:00I'm convinced that the sense of peace you feel is the Holy Spirit. When my husband's grandfather died after a long illness, I awoke the following morning convinced that he was in His hands. I called my mother-in-law right away and told her. She felt it too and it made the passing of her father so much easier to bear.<BR/><BR/>You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.Mrs. Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17766529113436991010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-51223848408174365232007-05-23T19:47:00.000-05:002007-05-23T19:47:00.000-05:00We have peace knowing that Someone is in control and we can trust Him with all our cares.<BR/><BR/>I know your mom inspired you to be the person you are...sensible, faithful and full of life; living each day to the fullest.<BR/><BR/>Will be thinking and praying for you and your family...many hugs!LeRoy Dissinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00100398955132921465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-42471963005575244782007-05-23T16:08:00.000-05:002007-05-23T16:08:00.000-05:00Your blog entry was one of the first things I checked this morning and I have been thinking about you all day.<BR/><BR/>Please know that I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>My father was diagnosed with cancer when Anne was 8 and John was 4. It was such a rough time of trying to be a good mother to A and J and a good daughter for my parents. Truthfully, I was a mess.<BR/><BR/>But when you talk about feeling peace, that was an experience I had, too. There is no way we could've gotten through this time<BR/>without God's presence and the prayers of others. To this day, that feeling is remembered and still beyond my comprehension.The Lindahl Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08700696893724625242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-64079919125392559192007-05-23T11:09:00.000-05:002007-05-23T11:09:00.000-05:00pardon for sin and a peace that endureth/thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide/strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow/ blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.<BR/><BR/>may god's faithfulness be great toward you today. every day.melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11911197321063074394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-17785096410497914182007-05-23T09:34:00.000-05:002007-05-23T09:34:00.000-05:00good for you for not allowing others to dictate how you are feeling at any given moment in your day, week, month. your emotions--and how you handle them--are completely your own. <BR/><BR/>we are praying for you. for your mom. for your family. and it will be okay. it's just a matter of how God defines "okay." <BR/><BR/>your honesty and frankness are refreshing, and they will serve you well as you continue to support your mother in her fight.ann-mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02723345405440308758noreply@blogger.com
