I feel almost powerless to offer anything that would be important to you, but my heart is with you. You bear what I many of us could not. You bear what I fear maybe most in the world, yet you write of wanting to spend an evening with your husband over anybody else because he needs you, and you write of having married him as being the best thing you ever did. I've only recently met you, but your bravery and devotion inspire me, and I wish I could offer something that really would help you.
I think it is easy to lose hope for a bit, especially when going through rough times like this week especially has been for you. For me, I try to imagine Jesus giving me a hug or me in the shadow of his wings, or being held like a lamb by him when I am going through tough times. I am sure you will find your hope back soon when things settle back down (until the next crisis).
I love to hear what you might think. Leave me a comment. I guarantee though that I will delete your comment if you are just here to cause trouble. So tread lightly!
Well then please accept my arms around you in a virtual hug. I've got you right now, you do not need to face this alone.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy! That is just what I needed. You are the best!!!!!

ReplyDeleteYou are so kind. And knowing what you are going through yourself just a reply from you is enough for me. {{Hugs}} back your way!
DeleteI would not trade my problems for yours. I can't imagine what life must be like for you, and I do try. My regard for you is enormous.
DeleteThank you Snow! It means a lot to me
DeleteWe all need a little of this, sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYes we do! And we HAVE to keep hoping, don't we
