I like your "word " for this year! I have been thinking of you and visited your blog yesterday to see if you have posted recently. The second anniversary is a significant one. It's such a difficult journey, but obviously you are moving forward with the Lord at your side and in your heart. I am thankful to hear of your growing closeness to our God. I can't think of anything more healing or comforting than that! Praying for a brighter year ahead as we cling to Him. Hugs for you.<br /><br />Love, Renee' <br />Renee' B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18298547598684930937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697497308622882249.post-88015425626154630292014-12-13T00:08:22.514-05:002014-12-13T00:08:22.514-05:00Listening to music thinking of my husband that ans...Listening to music thinking of my husband that answered his call to go home 3 years ago.

We know how hard this is, but it does get better, easier, less frequent sneak attacks. The Lord makes it doable somehow. Only by His grace. So thankful for that! Hugs to you, dear lady.

God is holding us as we cry and he is bottling all those precious tears.<br /><br />The emptiness is hard to take. No one knew us like our dear husbands did, and no one can take their place. <br /><br />I just cry out to Jesus day or night and know that He is always with me. I would rather choose joy than sorrow, and know that one day I will be reunited with the love of my life.<br /><br />That song was quite catchy and makes you just want to get up and dance.<br /><br />Love, hugs and prayers for you dear heart. Happy Birthday and may your heart be filled with love, peace and joy.<br /><br />FlowerLady<br /><br />FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697497308622882249.post-31768708572537030702013-12-14T15:17:03.260-05:002013-12-14T15:17:03.260-05:00Hello sweet Lorraine.

I know at first it's hard to imagine how the sun can manage to rise at all, and a new day begin. It's like "don't you know that my husband (or child) has died." It just does't seem possible. But then to have an explosion near you, (I am guessing that just happened, not 5 years ago) that seems rather ominous. Hopefully everything will get back together there again.<br />And for your blueprint, God says "It's the best one yet!"birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458487949161016719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697497308622882249.post-38706617919565227402013-07-21T11:18:10.093-04:002013-07-21T11:18:10.093-04:00That's a funny story!
