Perhaps you will find a little something in the mail soon with remedies for soothing pain.

I like you also know that we will stay with God that day. That is because our hope is in Jesus who overcame the grave before us and has promised to save a place.<br /><br />May God bless you and have a Happy New Year for you and the family.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-64428740297291467962012-01-03T01:17:33.075+00:002012-01-03T01:17:33.075+00:00I am surprised at how much more honest I have beco...I am surprised at how much more honest I have become since I retired. I'm not necessarily releasing the "bad" parts of me but I'm definitely more willing to expose who I am and how I feel. I think if must be a death to one sort of life that has to be lived for others (work comes to mind) and a rebirth to being responsible to no one. Now I am closer to God and that has made me braver. If 2012 is like 2011, I will be grateful. If it is better, I will be thankful. If problems come my way, I will be accepting.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, dear friend.<br />AnnieAnnie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-24047517852866174922012-01-03T00:37:05.920+00:002012-01-03T00:37:05.920+00:00Dear Felisol:
Thank you for your words on my page...Dear Felisol:<br /><br />Thank you for your words on my page tonight. I want you to know that I understand. I understand the pain, the fatigue and the disappointments along the way, as you are trying to do your best for your precious mom. I felt the same so many times with my mom. There are times when we simply have to stand, despite all within us that says we just can't do it. I always knew deep in my heart, that God loved my mother even more than I did, and that He hurt too. <br /><br />I am praying for you and your mother, and I will be praying every day, for God to strengthen you and to tenderly care for her.<br /><br />He understands, your heart and her needs.<br /><br />xohttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-67625694008650722092012-01-02T21:20:39.992+00:002012-01-02T21:20:39.992+00:00Happy New Year!!

I think the gist of your post today is that it is winter and Spring lies far off.<br /><br />Time to lie fallow (one of those bed days) and wait for the sun. It is sure to rise.<br /><br />JohnJohn Cowarthttp://www.cowart.info/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-53674440187540979902012-01-01T23:15:40.545+00:002012-01-01T23:15:40.545+00:00I can always count on you, Felisol, to make me thi...I can always count on you, Felisol, to make me think, and to come to your blog with expectation of a point of view that is so fresh and honest, thought provoking and always points to Jesus! Thank you for your very special friendship! We would be kindred spirits even if you werent' Norwegian, but the fact that you are makes you even dearer.<br /><br />Love you my friend! <br /><br />TAK TAK!!!<br /><br />Sonjahttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-67060942206967400342012-01-01T22:56:00.631+00:002012-01-01T22:56:00.631+00:00...let the masks fall, to stop fighting, and to le......let the masks fall, to stop fighting, and to let nature run its course... <br /><br />We reach that point when we know it's tiring and pointless to be the Savior of our own lives and the lives of those we love... and accept that there is a real Savior who can do a much better job.<br /><br />What a beautiful picture of Serina and Gunnar you have shared here... although I must admit that the leafless trees, the bleak and cold winter day, the gray skies above... and the graveyard - these taken together make up a somber picture. The picture would be a perfect entry to a Wordless Wednesday post - it has a message all its own. It best expresses what you have said, it is still the same old life.<br /><br />LOvely verse, too - I know that my Redeemer lives.<br /><br />Yes my dearest dearest friend - each day is a brand new day with its glorious possibilities.

We do have Hope in Jesus. ...Happy New Year Felisol!<br />We do have Hope in Jesus. I have decided to keep on keeping on & never give up as long as He gives me this gift of life . He is always with us , He never leaves or forsakes us. That is a wonderful promise .I understand what you mean by letting the mask fall, I feel that way sometimes.<br />My 13 yr old granddaughter Jasmine, on her blog ,ended her post for the New year with this verse. .<br />"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid".
