WEll AT LEAST YOU WERE ABLE TO GET Back to normal...I would have been at a loss to fix something like that.

I have been piddling around, did some errands yesterday and I go to lunch with a friend tomorrow. We have not seen each for nearly 20 years, but we talk often by phone.


There was that 'time' as many as, five years ago Angel' Sis'
That I would then, be walking in the same shoes
But each time you fall, you do have the option, to get up and continue [?]

Awwww!!!
All the best for a really good meeting [and lunch]
I just now, recall; Mary's and mine 'visits', to each-others home
"bumping-elbows", I 'called' it :)

Have a really good day Sis' :hug::hug:

That sounds like a nice plan. I hope you have fun. As for me, I plan to finish some work, piddle around, and take a nap. ;)

I have had a very good day...I am looking forward to seeing my friend tomorrow...she is a new "widow"....what a horrible word. Anyway....we had a long talk by phone earlier today, she is hurting in many ways.

My apology - I didn't know she just lost her husband, so I assume that your visit will be more solemn. Please tell her that she will be in our prayers.

Yes Angel' Sis'
I am including my prayer
that your spirit, will speak through your heart
and really listen, through your ears, when, you meet up with, your friend....tears, are good!
(((hug))) is good!

Is it not what friends are for ...
To ask about the 'good times' and how privileged we are
to spend 'time' with a 'really good person'
Those 'tears' of Mirth, and utter Joy that we wept so freely
when, that person had, so, spontaneously 'touched our hearts'
again, with 'happiness' and 'heartfelt joy'

Those 'moments in time' _were the giving and receiving of the gift of Love
and we thank them, [with, or without] saying _with a 'touch', from our 'soul'
followed by, 'hugs' then sent,everlastingly'

We can, close our eyes and 'be' with them
for each of those 'moments' _just whenever, we 'need-to'

Grief and sorrow can take a while for one to deal with
It can completely swamp the mourner's ability to cope
with the daily things, that mount up, with even, the slightest inattention
~bills, lack of nourishment, laundry, lack of sleep, inadvertent sloth
Causing consequent 'stress'
as these become regurgitated in the waking hours
Anxiety-moments
each time, these 'mountains' of 'culpable neglect'
leap-up, for-attention _like; unexpected 'Jack-in-the-Box'es
Stuff, that perhaps, the other once dealt with
It's those matters
those, that ..."don't matter at this time"
that really, also need attention
Down the road, are the consequences of that inattention, to 'other things'
:prayer:

My thoughts and prayers are with you Sis'
and I still wish you a GOOD meeting!! :hug:

your Bro'

Since you mentioned grief, it's been 4 years since my closest family member passed and others between now and January. I struggle with depression, miss them, miss talking to them. Was a premature death
at age 43. It's not that I consciously look to feel this way, it's just that it
seems my heart and emotions remember all to well all that happened during. Most I have come to terms with, others still seem so fresh.

I know with the others I knew where they were going, had a very fruitful,
fulfilling life, and were going to the place they had aspired to their whole life, and served faithfully. But premature deaths you aren't expecting, I never expected to outlive. Please pray, my heart just aches, some people
leave a profound loss behind and I keep waiting for more time to pass so it doesn't feel so acutely painful.:prayer:

I have had a couple of very different days for me: after spending nearly 5 years in much solitude; I was able to do some short distance driving and enjoy lunch yesterday with a very dear friend...one I had not seen in nearly 20 years. Today, my other dear friend who lives in my town spent the morning with me...we had breakfast out and then shopped the thrift stores together, did lots of laughing. Thank You Jesus for these special times...I appreciate them so much more as time goes by.

Welcome to CF and GE 50+ :wave:

I have experienced expected and unexpected losses; they all take time to get over....some more difficult than others.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers for your strength and peace in coming days. :crossrc:

Special People, always leave the space empty
that which they occupied, in the world, when, they are taken from the world
He comes, like a thief in the night [unexpected)

A life, is a life of, indeterminate duration
It doesn't come. 'labeled' with time-allowed
[right down to expiration of the final, 'second']
Who knows God's Purpose ?
Maybe, it has been well-served
by those persons that slip away from us

What is it that 'marks' a person's life in this world
if not for, those that they, so-unexpectedly, leave behind them

:prayer: for your peace and comfort
:pray:


big hugs for you :hug:

Death is always a shock to us I think...:angel:

Yes, Angel' Sis' ... we are, just 'human'
holding the worldly things, with our open hands
Nobody knows when, He will come

((hugss))

It is good, to hear, of your getting 'out and about' Angel' Sis'
Yes, we are blessed from time to time with 'good company'
and similar memories to recall
and rehash the joys and the trials of the past 'together'

Change, 'happens' doesn't it !
Often it occurs, without our knowledge or cognisance
Where we often learn, too-late
~or, for the first-time, as we then face, the consequences these changes have for us

Yes, it is good to hear, of good and healthy changes
that another has determined to bring about in their life :thumbsup:
~Man /woman, is such a social 'being' and can truly, find-themselves [in company with others]

((:)hug:)))




I see this is your first post, so WELCOME to CF and WELCOME to the Golden Eagles.
You will be in my prayers.
I will pray that God give you peace and comfort like only He can give.



Amen Bro' Tom
:prayer:

John 14:27 (NIV)
New International Version (©1984)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.



your Bro'

I am feeling very down right now, could you please pray for me.
Life is just so hard sometimes.

:prayer:
for, His loving arms to surround you and to lift you
so that your feet are not bruised by the stones
for the sun, to brighten your days and drive away the shadows
for His comfort and peace to be the path before you
In Jesus' name I :pray:
amen
