JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

God bless you Samantha.  Thinking about you and the family today and praying that you will have added strength to go through this.






Beneath the Cross of Jesus
(Click to hear music)

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Galatians 6:14


Words: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1868; published posthumously in the Family Treasury, a Scottish Presbyterian magazine, in 1872, titled "Breathing on the Border." The magazine's editor, W. Arnot, wrote: These lines express the experiences, the hopes and the longings of a young Christian lately released. Written on the very edge of life, with the better land fully in view of faith, they seem to us footsteps printed on the sands of time, where these sands touch the ocean of Eternity. These footprints of one whom the Good Shepherd led through the wilderness into rest, may, with God's blessing, contribute to comfort and direct succeeding pilgrims.

Music: "St. Christopher," Frederick C. Maker, in the Bristol Tune Book, 1881


   

Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.


O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet,
O trysting place where Heaven's love and Heaven's justice meet!
As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was given,
So seems my Savior's cross to me, a ladder up to heaven.


There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side
The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide
And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save
A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave.


Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess;
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.


I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

My bro in law called last night.  They are not going to do anymore radiation on Linda, they said it was too painful for her.  He is going to take her home on hospice in about 2 days.  They (nurses) said 2 weeks would be a long life for her after that.

He just wants her last days to be comfortable, as do I.  Pray for him please, as he has done all he knew to do to get her better.


Thanks to all of you who have prayed for us and Linda, may God richly bless each one of you.

My dear Samantha...

Please know that there is a circle of friends here who are lifting you up before the Throne of Grace.

I pray that you all will know that you are in the hollow of the most wonderful hands and He is in control definitely.

Thank you Pat and everyone.

The dr. seems to "think" that she had a stroke which has caused her spiral downward.  She is just lying in bed, can't speak, other than yes, no, and grunts.  She still has the blood clots, and we don't know about the cancer anymore.  Her short term memory is about gone, so in some ways that is a blessing, to not remember the cancer treatments and such, but my bro in law has to keep telling her why she is in the shape she is in.  He chose to tell her she had a stroke.

Pray for him, when you think of it.  And please pray for me, that I'll be able to go see her more often.

Samantha - I'm still praying this side for you and your brother-in-law.  I pray to God now that you will find the strength you need and that He will make it possible for you to see your sister more often.

God bless

I spoke with my bro in law last night.  He said he didn't think it would be much longer.  Her color has changed (those who have dealt with cancer know what I'm talking about) and a few other signs.  Keep him in your prayers please, his name is Randy.  He really sounded defeated on the phone. 
Thanks,

Samantha

Samantha

Thank you all so much for praying for my sister.  My bro in law phoned me while I was in church to tell me he thought she might not make it through today or tomorrow.  My prayer now is for her to not be in any pain anymore and for him to be able to let her go.  They've been married 28 years.  My heart is broken for him.   I know I will miss her but I know that we will have a grand reunion one day up in heaven, so I have that to look forward to!

If you come through here today and read this, all I ask is that you send a quick prayer to God for her and him, and I appreciate the prayers so much already.

Thanks,
Samantha

Samantha I am praying now.   :'(  I know the pain of the loss of a loved one and I know it leaves such an empty place in your heart and life.  I agree that there will be a grand reunion one day, but I also know there has to be a time of adjusting to life without her here on earth. I pray it will be a time of drawing closer to the God of all comfort.

You ask prayer for your brother-in-law, and I definitely am praying for him to know the peace that passes all understanding even in the midst of sorrow, but I also pray for you to find a place to snuggle safe  in the arms of our Loving Father during this time of transition and loss.

I talked with Randy today.  He told me about when she died.  He said he told her that he loved her and then he recited the Lords Prayer and when he finished she passed away.  I get glory bumps thinking about that.  God is so good, praise his wonderful name!

Thank you all once again for your prayers for us all.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of your sister Samantha.
I pray the Lord will comfort you and your sister's husband at this time.
May the God of all comfort you both.
