I read your message above and was blessed in it (on Psalm 23rd etc.) but my eye then dropped down and I read this one.<br /><br />I'm praying for you and your family this moment. Thanking GOD that you are both back home and that clearly all is well in the LORD. Your grandbabies are precious! I know I have two myself :)<br /><br />You're a beautiful blessing to all. <br /><br />Love and hugs!LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-15364107769776390902010-09-06T16:16:01.076-05:002010-09-06T16:16:01.076-05:00Andrea, So very glad you are able to stand in the ...Andrea, So very glad you are able to stand in the newness of your home.<br />God bless,<br />dDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019741103496608961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-29404321989315044082010-08-16T21:41:04.936-05:002010-08-16T21:41:04.936-05:00I can hardly wait to see what, how & when the ...I can hardly wait to see what, how & when the Lord is going to use this episode in your life to bless a bunch of people. You ALREADY bless a good many of us with your warmth & candor, but I have the feeling the picture's much, much bigger. 2 Corinthians chapter 1 comes to mind ...<br /><br />Thank you for your authenticity & forthrightness. It is good for believers to hear and know that life is, at times, truly tough. What a wonderful testimony you provide, and a model of how to stand in the face of a storm.<br /><br />Bless you!<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-42769606016424852502010-08-15T22:01:29.139-05:002010-08-15T22:01:29.139-05:00My heart aches for the description of what you and...My heart aches for the description of what you and your family have and are going through.

I haven't lost a home to a fire but been in a bad earthquake so know a bit about losing our nest(not nearly what you lost though). I loved your comment "In light of God's complete vision, He ordains and allows the events of our lives, for He knows what will purge us, renew us, and conform us to the image of Jesus." because I've walked in spiritual singleness for 31 yrs but never thought of it like this before...so thank you. Praying God's provision is so far beyond what you need-in all areas.<br />Hugs & prayers,<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115654094121749505.post-54039069451458719722010-07-23T12:41:40.472-05:002010-07-23T12:41:40.472-05:00I am so happy for you to be back in your home.

Everything we own can be replaced. The keepsakes, maybe not... but nothing can take our memory away. A friend who lost her home in a fire chose to keep one upholstered chair with a burned hole in the back. She kept it that way as a reminder of all the family and friends who came to their rescue with a place to stay, food, clothing and furniture. I get teary-eyed everytime I think about this. <br />Well, you have a fresh start. A lot of people would certainly love to have that. <br />What a blessing you are to us bloggers!<br />Thank you and take care!<br />God is good.<br />Karen<br />Ladybug CreekKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323076493744748557noreply@blogger.com
