Janet --    As a mother, I have no idea what i would do.  As a daughter, I would want my mother to be completely up front with me, though.  I am NOT Beth, though, but you probably know her better than anyone.  My prayers are with you.

I have hte hiccups.    Right now, I am killing them with graham crackers.  Oreos work better, but I don't have any.

Glad to see so many posters today.  My mother and I had a wonderful time shopping.  She was buying birthday and Christmas presents for 4 kids, 3 children in law, and 7 grandkids.  The woman had a mission.  I am whupped.  For birthdays, instead of just one kid getting presents, she gives them all something.  The birthday kid gets some extra money, and they all get some clothes and a toy.  It's pretty cool.  And hilarious when you say, "Storm, that is a cool shirt.  Where did you get it?" and he replies, "Ninaw gave it to me for Brayden's birthday."  I guess one of the best results (aside from getting clothes year 'round) is that they look forward to their cousins' birthdays as much as their own.  

I'm off to look at some pictures.

PS -- My hiccups are gone <and there was much rejoicing>

Dear Janet.........

I believe you'll know exactly  what I mean when I say that I have always seen something very special in your eyes and smile.  You know the feeling.  Some people have that unknown ability to capture those they meet.  This said Janet, I know in my heart that you will be able to take the bull by the horns and tell her the truth.  She MUST hear it, and the sooner the better.  Why? because there will be no time in her life that will make the pain (for both of you any easier).  We all know that  the shock will be devestating and the pain beyond what we have experienced because we are not going through it.  There are ways to say things, and then there are ways to say things.  You in your wisdom will find the right and most gentle and loving ways to break the news to her.  Remember Janet, our Lord knows exactly why she has been chosen to undergo this trial (And you as well).  Yes, it is a trial, and only our love and knowledge, and trust in Jesus Christ can help us to understand that better things are ahead for her.  No, of course it isn't easy and won't be, but she MUST understand that "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes."  Romans 8:28  You will know the time.  God bless you Janet.  I'll be praying for you.  I mean it.

What interesting posts.  So much is being written about angels these days...not always to the benefit of the readers.  I like what you said Pastor Al and also share the same belief.  All the posts were most helpful and agree with what Marilyn said.  This day has certainly been focused on our Lord.

Had two small nibbles about my Condo today.  So that is encouraging.  Someone is coming to view it on Tuesday and I will leave the matter in God's hands.

Talked to Al again a few minutes ago as he looked so weak this afternoon.  His pain is starting to become worse and more medication  will be needed soon.  God is taking very good care of my friend and it is our hope that he will go home before things become really hard.

Janet, I am so sorry about Beth and can feel your pain.
I have been praying for her today and yesterday, etc. and will continue to do this.  God will help you decide what is best to say to your daughter.  I pray that He will bring peace to your heart and clarity to your thoughts as you deal with this sorrow.  LOL

Hope you all have a pleasant evening.  God Bless.

The next time it happens, take on teaspoon of sugar and put it on your tongue.  Hiccups is a chemical condition and this gets rid of it IMMEDIATELY

Oh, but Lee, cookies are so much more fun!!!!  

Lee

Tell me the old old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am week and weary,
And helpless and defiled.

Chorus.
Tell me the old old story
Tell me the old old story
Tell me the old old story
Of Jesus and His love.
Of Jesus and His love

Marilyn and Judy.........

Thanks.  Guess no one else knew it



Welcome Deerhunter16.  Are you?

I knew it!!!  I knew it!!  

Oh Janet {{{{{hugs}}}} I am so sorry to hear this news about Beth. Have been praying for both of you last night and today and well as at other times too my friend.  I cannot offer any advice other than that Lee has already said to you. She has to hear it from you. I will continue to pray for both of you.  I love you sister. You ar a special friend to me. You were there for me on the phone when I needed someone. I will try to call you tomorrow.

I have just finished scanning all the posts.  I will say this and it seems we all agree on this point.  There are angels.  I didn't see if we all agree that many can actually see angels.  As a wee girl Melaura would tell me of a man standing in her room at night, and he was shiny.   He told her that he was there to protect her.  I believe this was an angel.  Have anyone elses children given this kind of report?  Also I pray God's protection over everyone in our home.  After I had prayed one evening Melaura came inside just a dancing and saying that I had to go outside and see the house. I went with her and had no clue what she was on about.  She was quite dissapointed that I couldn't see the dome of angels covering our home.  It reminded me of the story about Elisha asking God to reveal the warrior angles to the servant.

Just a little message from Janet...

She's been here to read all of your lovely messages.  She wants you to know that.  She's crying and her grief is just too heavy to post tonight and she's gone to bed.

She has to get up early tomorrow to attend a seminar that was planned.  The title of the seminar is "The Secrets of Powerful Prayer" so she'll be here after she gets home.

Thanks so much for being such a caring group of people.

Pat if you knew it whay didn't you say so.  

I had a great time at the Steak dinner tonight. There was avideo from one of the missionaries to China talaking about the house churches there and the lack of Bibles.
A beautiful story about a young man who prayed for a Bible and a missionary who came to the door of his home in a little village with one just for him. The Lord had told the missionary who the bible was for. Then the President of "Light for the Lost" spoke on the video urging us to do all we can to purchasr Fire Bibles for China. They have already sent 1 million Bibles and hope to sent 2 million more.

A delightful evening of fellowship too.

Welcome Deerhunter16.

Pat..........

Yah sure.

Marilyn, cuz I saw you answered!  HAHAHA

Pat I assume Janet will be back tomorrow to read what we have posted.

Janet this is a very heavy, heavy load for a mother to carry.  Fortunately you have help in carrying it.  Your Lord is right there upholding you, and Beth.  Let him carry you in this.
