And tho I do not know your details, I rejoice for you as you listen to Him and take His comforts to the center of our being- the heart.<BR/><BR/>May the Lord bless you this night!<BR/>Thanks again :O)nomorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624439443140671207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-17088789472729238622008-12-30T20:50:00.000-06:002008-12-30T20:50:00.000-06:00Edie,Sometimes I read what you posted and I go to ...Edie,<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I read what you posted and I go to comment and I erase everything I wrote to you....why? I think you and I have somewhat parallel thinking/lives/something...see I want to erase that. I'm going to try and send this comment.<BR/><BR/>This spoke to my heart again. The post where you talked about your sibling spoke way way way to me. There were many years where I raised my younger siblings. <BR/><BR/>And I have a great sense of loss around this time of year through February...for many reasons...I have to press in close to the Lord to let Him cover me to survive it.<BR/><BR/>I truly don't know how people survive without Him. Blessings to you.

Everywhere you look there is violence and chaos. Everywhere but one place. Inside us. And to keep the peace inside us all we have to do is let Jesus come inside too. So even if our world is crashing down around us we can have inner peace by accepting Jesus. <BR/><BR/>Try it, it works.Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-13636177720611934552008-12-30T09:38:00.000-06:002008-12-30T09:38:00.000-06:00Funny, God was talking to me about fear today.

I am glad that God gave you that special present of himself this year. As for the ornaments I talked about earlier, I found out what their names meant and then put the key word into the BibleGateway word search and picked the best verse that went with it : my name means Messenger of God, so I did "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news", although I knew that verse already. It was a fun project. I love Chip Ingram. Have you ever done a study by him or have you just heard him speak? His radio ministry was a big part of what God used to bring me to him. Well, I hope you have a good day! <BR/> AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863689063737934494noreply@blogger.com
