Dear Peggy,
Ohhhhh, I'm sooo sorry...... it IS very difficult to have a close relative who was not able to show warmth and compassion!! And since I am deaf myself (I have a cochlear implant now, which is really neat!), I suffered loneliness all my life until a few years ago, I too KNOW the anguish of mental suffering! SOMEhow, though, everything IS going to "turn out alright in the end!" I have said that to myself over and over and
OVER for MANY years, and it has ALWAYS turned out to be
true! Yay!
YES! I
WILL pray for ALL FIVE of you to receive the inwardly-felt Healing your souls SO CRAVE (I capitalize these words, because I KNOW the Feeling.....and I give Thanks to our Father in Heaven who HAS given me healing on one point after another, and that He
will do so for YOU ALL too!). A few years ago, I happened to look up the word, "faith", and discovered that its origin means "confidence." And because of all the experiences I've been made to undergo by God, and be given the blessing AFTERwards, He has caused my faith in Him to groooooow!!! It's so exciting to "be caught" by God and WATCH what wonderful Works He does in your life!!
True, the Healing might not come tomorrow, but it WILL come at the proper time...... Just you wait and see!!
Isaiah 26:3 -- "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee."
I have clung to this Bible verse MANY times....and discovered it is SO TRUE!!
God's Peace settle softly over you and your sisters,
Linda
