Thank you for your comments and love, dear Ganeida. Have you heard the quote that begins with, “Measure thy life by loss….”? I’ll send it if you haven’t. xxoo

Julie,
The world is full of madness & mad people running every which way doing who knows what, but it is the slow the quiet the thoughtful that has depth & resonance ~ & you have all that & more.

I too know how suddenly a life can be cut off but I am what I am. I am not my brother & I don’t have my brother’s gifts. I have to remind myself about that quite often. Sending cyber love your way. xxxoooxxx

In reply to Ember.

You are so gracious to say what you have, Ember. Thank you for stopping by here. 🙂 And how true it is, that the love is what makes all the happiness and the sadness. I’ve never thought of that before.

I’m looking forward to your next book’s release!! I have already pre-ordered mine. xxoo

In reply to Larry. I guess I do have a shriveled soul and spirit sometimes, Lar. I'm thankful for God's new mercies every morning! xxoo

When you said in your blog “When I’m distracted and inattentive to him and weary of his neediness, I’m sorry to say I can almost see his soul and spirit shrivel.

I FELT SAD TO HEAR YOU CALL HIS NEEDS “NEEDINESS AND THAT YOU ARE DISTRACTED AND INATTENTIVE”, WHEN I AM REMINDED THAT ALL YOU HAVE NOW IS BECAUSE OF HIM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND YES YOU SHOULD ALMOST SEE HIS, OR IS IT YOUR SOUL AND SPIRIT SHRIVEL?

In reply to Linda.

Ohhh, what a wonderful story, Linda…and so true. Sometimes I think we have a little too much on our plates, but then I look around me at what so many others must endure, and am content with what the Lord has allowed. Thinking of you every single day…. xxoo

Ohhh Julie…..All I could think of after reading your post was the story below I just read this morning. I am more committed than ever to lift you up in prayer. For selfish reasons too….because I so need to learn what God is teaching you in your trials that you have been faithful to share with us; and reminding me that we just can’t love without daily withdrawals from our Jesus account! The knowledge of such inexhaustible provision is humbling.
……love you….

The Cross Room:
The young man was at the end of his rope.
Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.
“Lord, I can’t go on,” he said.
“I have too heavy a cross to bear.”
The Lord replied,
“My son, if you can’t bear it’s weight,
just place your cross inside this room.
Then open another door and pick any cross you wish.”
The man was filled with relief.
“Thank you, Lord,”
he sighed, and did as he was told.
As he looked around the room he saw many different crosses;
some so large the tops were not visible.
Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
“I’d like that one, Lord,”
he whispered. And the Lord replied,
“My son, that’s the cross you brought in.”

When life problems seem overwhelming,
it helps to look around and see what others are having to endure.
Then you may see for yourself that you are more fortunate than you realized.
