DuluthGA:
THANKS RENE'... and you're right... it's a fine line we all tread between the living and the dead and the caregiver or the care recipient!! HO HO HO!! Which way will HE go?? I praise and give glory to God for His fore-destined plan.
And thank you James... how cool, while reading on another thread that you were a nurse for a few years, certainly doing what I consider "community service." It is part of the portfolio that was given to me as was yourself. I take no glory in it, but I physically helped a tremendous amount of very sick people for ten years in ambulances and hospitals. I'm sure you saw and attended to your own many sets of miseries as well. You and I have truly seen the very physical aspects of God at work; He does heal, and He does take away.
What you say about situations going from bad to worse sometimes to the point of GETTING LEVELED is surely the common ground for many testimony-bearers in one way or another. It was several years after my initial tragedy that I was given to appreciate the scriptural truths through Ray Smith. Then it was given me to fall into my Lord's line. And, yes you raise a great point that we may someday know our impact on future readers, if not first-hand from an email or post, but eventually in spirit by the new communication WE WILL BE GIVEN TO HAVE! :) And I believe it will be limitless.
God bless your daughters, hold them close (for they may take care of you someday :D), and thank you for your many thoughtful posts at da forum!
With thanks and joy for all,
Janice
I must say my earthly father certainly deserves the royal treatment he's getting for being given to be so wonderful to me. Thank you Lord and Father.
Also James, in addition to keeping you in my prayers, I will fix my pix at the 'child board' manyana, thanx for the heads up. ;)
LittleBear:
James,
You warm my heart. :)
It is the same with me, when I have a bad day, I come to the forum and read and see what is going on with people here. It is a fellowship of suffering that helps to bear the load when life gets unreal. That, and continually emphasizing to myself and to God that He is in control and this trial is for a grand purpose.
James, lets all hold on, with our Heavenly Father we will see the other side, and be totally thankful for every step of it.
I'm also glad you had a quiet evening with your girls.

Patrick:
Rom 12:5 so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.
1Co 12:12 For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ,
1Co 12:26 and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with it do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with it do all the members;
DuluthGA:
GREAT VERSES Patrick, BIG THANKS!
I'm going to add them to the scriptural theme paper in Off Topics... "Please don't build another church." I keep finding more verses to add to it all the time.
I am thankful for you forum friend! :)

2 Corinthians 1:3-7 MSG
All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel!
He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.
We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort--we get a full measure of that, too.
When we suffer for Jesus, it works out for your healing and salvation. If we are treated well, given a helping hand and encouraging word, that also works to your benefit, spurring you on, face forward, unflinching. Your hard times are also our hard times.
When we see that you're just as willing to endure the hard times as to enjoy the good times, we know you're going to make it, no doubt about it.
Peace and love to you all!
