I always like to remember: That which does not kill us will only make us stronger. I thought God had made me stronger through previous trials, many of them.<br><br>But noooooo. I too had to go through yet another, My hubby too had gone through some major health problems. It's not easy trying to take up the slack, be the care giver and watch the one you love so dearly suffer. <br><br>God knows our hearts, get real with Him. I did, it's the only way I made it. <br><br>My story is at: http://sassy-keepinitrural.blogspot.com/2010/02/time-flies-whether-your-having-fun-or.html<br> <br>and: http://sassy-keepinitrural.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-heart-is-heavy-my-mind-frustrated.htmlSassyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16326463958951674762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-47602918853690870652011-06-30T12:35:08.841-07:002011-06-30T12:35:08.841-07:00Glad you are back.

I have found out, over the years, that there is a reason for everything. Many times "enlightenment" comes from "dark places". Good to hear that your husband is healing from his surgery.<br><br>The following is a quote from Micheal J. Fox, "Whatever the situation, just take it for what it is. You don't have to make it worse or better than it is. It just is what it is. Always deal with the honesty, the truth of what something is, and then you've got all kinds of choices."<br><br>You have been heavy on my heart recently, now I know why. It sounds like you are on the right path. Take care of yourself, so you can care for your loved ones.Normahttp://high-desert-living.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-22758923903806228482011-06-29T18:31:03.239-07:002011-06-29T18:31:03.239-07:00Amen Chloris!

"Congratulatio...I'm not sure what to say. "Congratulations on remembering to turn you worries over to God!", just sounds awkward even though that is the basic sentiment I want to convey. A few months ago I was getting overwhelmed by all the doom and gloom TEOTWAWKI stuff and political stuff and had to go through my bloglist and unfollow a bunch of blogs. I sat back and realized that the only thing in this world I can truly control is myself and the rest must be left up to God's will. You may have already read this book but I thought I would suggest it as it brought me to a place that helped me. It's called "The Will of God", by Leslie Weatherhead. http://www.amazon.com/Will-God-Leslie-Weatherhead/dp/0687074827 It really helped me turn the corner to trust in the Lord.Woolysheephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081381687156224381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-56317677147285749312011-06-28T14:35:28.213-07:002011-06-28T14:35:28.213-07:00Hi ChlorisI will be praying that you will be able ...Hi Chloris<br><br>I will be praying that you will be able to sleep soundly, it is one of God's most precious gifts.<br><br>Just finished reading "This Life is in Your Hands" by Mellisa Coleman, Eliot coleman's daughter. It talks a lot about how difficult her life was and how difficult the 1970's were. I ended up being more hopeful after reading it because I remembered that, as Soloman said, there is nothing new under the sun. Life was pretty good for most Americans between the 70's and now. We could pull out of these difficult times again. <br><br>Shirleyspinnersawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16763380819352813272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-29775338856195822072011-06-28T14:03:04.416-07:002011-06-28T14:03:04.416-07:00Sometimes we have to fall so that he can lift us u...Sometimes we have to fall so that he can lift us up.
