When sorrow shakes you...

Good Morning friends,

Well my vacation was good and bad.

The weather and green and flowers and warmth, were amazing.

I was able to serve my friend, by helping ready her house for sale.

She then blessed me with so many tools to start making fairies.

It was also a tragic time, my family (dad, brother) let me down once again.

I don't know what hurts worse, losing someone through death, or having them alive and lying and treating you badly? When you trust someone, and love them unconditionally there is no room for hurt.

When that "love" is superficial, there is pain at every turn.

When your looks are embarrassing to them, and your parenting doesn't work like they think it should.

It hurts beyond compare, to have those close to you be ashamed.

This is where I hold up my head and say "This will not hurt me" but. more importantly "This will not separate me from the love of God"

When bad things happen and life goes not as planned, He is there.

My dear friend sent this to me today and having someone who understands.

Thanks Teretha.

When Your burdens Seem to weigh You down Or the road seems to far to carry on Just look to the hills You will find Your help which comes from the Lord Even when You feel You can't go on, let Your soul cry out to the Lord. Cry on....God understands Your tears.

He knows how much that You can bear, the faintest cries He hears. Cry on, when there's nothing else to say. Soon He'll wipe all Your tears away. ~Song by "Commissioned" Be encouraged by these words.

Sometimes life doesn't seem to go as planned.

Once again God comforts me. The radio or friends words send healing.

The one thing that stood out on the radio, was they gave a little summery on Job. And if you have been reading lately I have been looking to that part of the Bible for help.

What I heard was that God blessed Job at the end with more then he had.

That you want to shout" hang in there Job it turns out OK."

In the midst of struggle it is hard to see the end or the joy or reward. But God knows, so we need to trust Him that the end will be to His glory.

My mom always said "This too shall Pass"

and It will, but the scars will remain to remind you of the pain.

I pray today God shines down His grace and peace on me and You.

I may feel joy and Love that is unconditional and not with strings attached.

I hope you all have a blessed day.

Always

Suszi
