It truly is a lifelong process, isn't it, to be what our Lord would have us be, and think, and do. Paul's words are always ever so wise, and true. How fortunate you are to work in such a caring environment, that when one of your co-workers suffers a loss, the others pull together to help above and beyond the call. Everyone's support will mean so much to her, now and in the dark days ahead as she mourns her father.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453406680900182492.post-72052110853752317032008-07-17T03:44:00.000-04:002008-07-17T03:44:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing about this study and your insig...Thanks for sharing about this study and your insights!

On our way home, we drove by a sign that showed the temp at 105 at 11:30.

I will work harder.Erica Hankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880163194972920422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453406680900182492.post-78370932621944494622008-07-15T13:43:00.000-04:002008-07-15T13:43:00.000-04:00Trish...thank you for this beautiful devotional......Trish...thank you for this beautiful devotional...

You made me feel good calling me Sweet Sister. I do feel like a part of your family.<BR/><BR/>Pat--We do have so much to be thankful for. I am guilty of not realizing all the blessings He has given me. I want to be more aware of His goodness in my life. You are so kind.<BR/><BR/>Betsy--Thanks for your comments. You always are so sweet. Doesn't it seem like when people we care about say hurtful things it is like they have ripped out our heart? Especially people that we think should know better. We need to be uplifting each other, not chipping away at each other. Sometimes our family is the worst. Instead of being proud of us for what we are trying to do, it's like they want to evaluate all our faults and flaws. We all have them but if we have the love of Christ in us we should let Him shine through and encourage others. No matter what the circumstances.nanatrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710834330081243962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453406680900182492.post-5080782628014435612008-07-15T11:09:00.000-04:002008-07-15T11:09:00.000-04:00Wow, these are wonderful thoughts here.

I have two close family members who have "hurt me to the core" and it is true about it taking a lot of energy to live in the past and think about that.
