What's God been up to in my life?

<< < (2/2)

EKnight:
I spoke with the guy who has been working on the tank abandonment.  He was very encouraging but I am not that optimistic.  It seems when people say God closes one door he opens another.  In my case it seems every door is slamming shut on me.  I have been grateful for the little things but the bad things seem to just get worse.


--- Quote ---There is a family that i get along with very well. our kids play on the same team or against each other every season. my and the father of the other 2 children always seek each other at the field and enjoy watching our kids play. we also made plans to coach the team together this coming spring. well i recieve a call from his wife and after a few second of how is my friend doing, she begins to sob and tells me " i just buried Michael last night". I was flabergasted to say the least. She told me that the reason she is calling me was that since me and mike were good friends at baseball, she wanted me to be sure that her son continues in baseball. i was honored for that tasking, but saddened for her loss.

I am sure that if she had to choose between dirty soil or her husbands death she would choose the former. P.S. He was very young.

i hope this will allow you to see that it will get better,

This whole tank thing might not seem so awful to me if I had not also lost my husband unexpectedly 7 months ago.  I have no one to share this emotional and financial burden with. 

Santikos, please don't think that I am so shallow as to know what a minor thing this oil tank problem might appear to be.  It is just but a drop in the bucket of sorrows and trials I have endured this past year and half.  My anger stems from a culmination of these trials.

Amen John; hang in there Eileen, all things must pass.

Deborah-Leigh:


Psa 30:5  For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Linny:
Eileen, although our trials have been nothing compared to your loss, I want you to know you are not alone. I can't even list the things that have happened to us this year alone that have been a constant source of stress to my husband expecially. I worry about his health as he doesn't sleep and is in a constant state of anger at the world. I know how difficult this life can be. Praying for you.
