Keep clinging. In my family's assorted hard times and drama, I have to keep remembering that these are the times I grow most. Maybe some people can grow by leaps and bounds in the happy times, but I seem to learn to know and trust God more when there's no other option. :) May the Lord keep sending you encouragement when you need it most and draw you closer to Himself in these hard times than you've ever been.<br /><br />Thank you for any prayers you're led to pray for my family as we walk through a long-term loss and the one-year anniversary of my Nonni's death on Oct. 27.<br /><br />Love you.<br />tinuvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462001159262770932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330757098221229362.post-67662121823002645952015-10-06T06:40:17.655-04:002015-10-06T06:40:17.655-04:00Same here...hope all is well.

And the lovely, redemptive gifts that God sent you, in the nick of time. My, my. God is good at this stuff. Love to you, dear Brandee. Praying for that job. Soon.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991172981000479793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330757098221229362.post-59028393835911176832015-09-14T06:47:59.487-04:002015-09-14T06:47:59.487-04:00Hi Brandee,
I miss my Grandma, too.
She passed...Hi Brandee,<br /> <br />I miss my Grandma, too.<br /> <br />She passed away fifteen years ago or so. She was also 96-97, and had been in decline for a few years, but fought all the way to the end.<br /> <br />I spent a couple of hours yesterday going through her things (not even knowing it was Grandparents Day) trying to decide what to keep and what to throw away...yeah, it's been in boxes all those years!<br /> <br />My word, that woman kept *everything* Every birthday card and post card anybody ever sent her...every newspaper clipping of interest..and boxes and boxes of pictures. Her brother had 13 kids, so I've got plenty of cousins running around WV and Delaware; many pictures of them, though I don't know them all.<br /> <br />I still have my vinyl copy of "John Denver's Greatest Hits" that Grandma bought me back in the 70s...you know that his "Almost Heaven" is like the state anthem in WV!<br /> <br />Good luck to Jim on the job hunt.<br /> <br />:-)<br /> <br />-Andy<br /> <br />WARPedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060430370218799951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330757098221229362.post-37247125472920468752015-09-14T01:50:36.733-04:002015-09-14T01:50:36.733-04:00Seriously loving how this shows the way God leaves...Seriously loving how this shows the way God leaves us evidence of His love and presence scattered throughout even our hardest days, if we'll just stop and notice. I'm praying for Jim to find a great job.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572872315082254364noreply@blogger.com
