Thank you

Thank you for praying for my family today at the funeral. We really appreciate it and felt it. Love on your family, no matter how different you are from each other. Good night.

ADD:
Just a few thoughts going through my head during this time. My encouragement is that God will never leave us. We are not, nor is anyone else guaranteed a tomorrow. As Billy said the combination of our younger family members mixed in with grandparents who have lived a long full life makes the others harder to move forward. Also, the sheer accumulation of 10 family members over the last 4 1/2 years can feel overwhelming at times. Loss coming two to three times a year over that period of time along with not being able to add to our family has had its share of discouragement. Promises from God are the only thing that never change. These events bring to mind how important leaning on God is to get through hard times. I'm stuck right now as to how to articulate the struggles going through my mind in a positive way all together. It's all in God's hands.... I try to use the blog as a place of contemplation, not venting. Since the latter is where I'm at, then I'm going to focus on other things. For right now anyway, I want to focus on Christmas, the birth of Jesus, family, friends, and giving.
