I have just had it. please just keep me in your thoughts and prayers as something has got to be done.

Dear Joya,

Dear Barbara,
 
You have so many challenges to deal with! No wonder you may feel down at times! Perhaps you are also tired with all the things you need to do!
You, too, are included in this  goup hug!

Dear Joya,
Thoughts come your way to give you patience and insights and hopefully some better exchanges with the doctors.

Sending you some sunshine for your heart and more group hugs for both you and Barbara,

Love is the only way

Dear Joya
 
I hope your daily challenges ease soon and you get the help and support you so badly need towards your grandfather..
 
 
 
 
Dearest Barbara ,
 
I guess it's at our most challenging times our gratitude list is questioned or challenged.  
 
I came across this prayer
 
A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH
O Lord,
In this time of need, strengthen me. You are my strength
and my shield; You are my refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go
to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose
hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is
in You to renew my strength.
I do not fear, for You are with me.
I am not dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are my God. I
know You will strengthen me and help me; that You will
uphold me with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows
of illness cover me, I feel the comfort of Your strength, Or
Lord.
Amen.
 
 

we are all one in the need for the Holy One to embrace us

 
We are Barbara and when we do feel his loving arms around us we know just how special each one of us really is.
 

 
I hope your feeling brighter today knowing you are carried always as you are one of God's special children
 
Love and

Thank you ladies I think maybe I need to try to treat myself like I do the people I love.Well I am actually not nice to them sometimes so maybe I just need to try harder on both sides.We all do make mistakes but I seem to make more than most people these days.
 
 
I do thank Jesus for not giving up on me.I can't say I say the same to God but I know that for me this may come in time
 

remember you have another sunrise to begin again and set right what you can

Thank the Lord I do dear Barbara...

How the heck can it be a good new year!I wish so much it was different.Why why why are there fireworks going off when so many people are left broken . What the hell was Gods plan tonight . He was not there to help or wipe away the endless tears .He has not carried me or helped me tonight.Maybe I am selfish but I can't see how when I try so hard I really do.
 
 
My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There's nothing my God cannot do.
 
well he did it tonight he showed how much he cared.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

Dearest Sandra,
 
I am so very sorry you are feeling so disappointed with and angry at God tonight!
I don't know what  you had hoped for that would make this night different from any other! It is alright to feel that way! God can take it! Better to be honest!
 
Yes, there is much suffering in the world, but there is also a tremendous amount of good that needs to be celebrated. Most of the suffering is the result of human decisions and failure. We want God to take away all pain, intervene to prevent all suffering,  protect us from all harm like a little child. I think God treats us as adult children who have to make decisions, take initiative and assume responsibility. This is much more difficult, but is this not what human parents expect of their grown children? And just like human parent God gives the support and wisdom we need if we are open to it.
 
Each New Year is a gift to us, another opportunity to become the arms of God, helping and supporting each other, work for peace and everything good in the world.
 
May you be blessed with comfort and peace!
 
Much love and warm hugs,
 
Edda
 
P.S. You might want to read the blessing by John O'Donohue in the Happy New Year thread!

Peace and joy!

My dearest Sandra,
I am so sorry you were in such a difficult place last night but so pleased that you could just honestly lay out how you felt.  Decades ago, a Jesuit theologian/clinical pshychologist once told us on retreat  "You might as well be completely honest with God about how you really feel because He already knows the truth of how you feel anyway."

Even Jesus from the cross cried out his desperation, "My God, My God, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!"

It is always said that if there is never any angry disagreement in a relationship, then the relationship is dead since neither cares enough about the other to get upset.  See how strong your relationship is with this God--When you are really disappointed You trust this Holy One and have enough faith in Him that you can honestly tell Him how you feel without any fear and trembling. 

I pray today that the "Son" begins to shine once more and the darkness has begun to pass.  Much love and prayers,
Betty
