thread for middle age to older Christian women.

It is so sad that children become the pawns in the disputes of others.  I will definitely pray that this issue is resolved to everyone's satisfaction.  

Thank you so much for the prayers.  They are appreciated.  I pray all the time that Jeff's heart is softened and he finds the love of family soon.

Sad when disputes split a family.  Anyone know what Jeff's side could be?  My prayer would be for an impartial  family friend to understand both sides and get that knowledge out to only the interested parties.   There's misunderstanding at play (seen it in my own family years ago).   That does not excuse Jeff using his children in that way and hurting his parents over something that was not his to begin with.

Lord, I lift up Kathleen and her entire family that you would soften the hearts and lead them to look upward, not at the things of this earth that will go away, but at the eternal things of you, our Lord and deliverer.

Amen.

That sibling rivalry can be difficult.  I have four children and I have always tried so hard to be fair to all of them, but there are times when one needs more than the other, so you end up giving them a little more attention for that need, but it doesn't mean they are a "favorite".  In my will and trust I designated that any outstanding loans that I had to my children would come off their share before it was distributed to all; hopefully, removing that stigma that anyone was favored over the other.

Who are any of us to judge how someone else lives their lives.  Only God can make that judgment. 

Kathleen, so sorry to hear of this sad family situation. I will be praying for reconciliation.



Kathy, congratulations! I became a grandmother (Nana) 2 months ago. She is so precious. It will make our move to Boone more difficult emotionally for me, but it is only 4 1/2 hours away, so I will return often to visit my granddaughter and will keep my doctors here in Greenville. Boone is much smaller, so it's a lot more difficult to get a doctor there. I also have a sister and mom in Greenville and will visit them monthly as well.



Please pray that our home sells quickly. We have a beautiful house, but there is a lot of competition on the market. I didn't follow Jo's advice, but instead overdid it and now am paying the price. I was hurrying to get our home ready for sale, and staying up very late and working too hard. I was getting only two hours of sleep a night and was in a lot of pain. I'm doing better now, but my arm pain never goes away.



Thank all of you for your prayers and support. I do appreciate each of you so very much!

Dear Rocket, Thank you so much for your happy wishes!!! We are all so excited, this will be our first grandchild!!! Prayers are answered. I will also pray for an easy transition for you and your hubby's move. I know it will be hard to leave your Boone, but I know you will make it work. Sometimes, the farther you are away, the more of an effort you make to see each other. You are all in the palm of our Lord's mighty Hand!!!! Prayers are coming for an easy sale on your home, we just sold ours in IN, it only takes one to go through your beautiful home and love it. Please take care of yourself, No more LE flareups!!!! Blessings, Kathy

Kathy, Wow, you are excited - so excited you said it twice. 

Rocket and JO-5, keeping you both in prayer for healing.  We serve an AWESOME God so we know all things good will come from Him.

Rocket, my sister, an attorney, lived many years in Greenville and is now living and teaching at Alamance Community College in Burlington.  I still have a friend there in Greenville, Dr Campbell, was OB-Gyn, now in Public Health and her DH is an Oral Surgeon there.  Small world.

Jo-5, good news for you, God is Good. From what I hear about our journey, aches and pains are a part of it, but I always worry too, even though I know Fear and Faith can reside together, but so glad you had good report from the doctor.Rocket, prayers will continue for you and your family, always!!!!! May you all have a wonderful and very Blessed Easter!!!!!! 

Kathleen:  All the best on your surgery.  Sending you prayers and healing energy!

Praying now Kathleen for a speedy recovery. May His mighty hands protect you.

This very special Holy Week, as always, brings me to my knees in thankfulness knowing what God our Father did for us by sending His Only Son, Jesus Christ to die for us and give us Eternal Life and take away our Sins. His gift of Grace is free and all we have to do is commit our lives to Him!!!  Just knowing that Jesus faced dark times, endured torture and humiliation, makes me realize I can endure dark times in my own life, knowing that defeat is not the end of the story. The Resurrection of Christ is the hope we need to keep our faces looking upward and our minds focused on the goal of  Heaven. Jesus suffered death, so that we may all enjoy life. I am overwhelmed by the Love that was given and shown to us. I am saddened by the suffering that Jesus endured for us but I am feeling the Joy knowing His Resurrection brought me life again and again. God bless you all, May you experience many blessings, joy and gratitude this Holy Week.

Just a newbie saying - I'm glad you're here, and I'll drop by from time to time.

Welcome snorfia.  I am always so humbled on this day, Good Friday, knowing what our Lord sacrificed for us.  Good Friday communion service tonight but so looking forward to Easter Sunday worship and praise for His rising.  To God be the glory.

Welcome Snorfia and Happy Easter everyone!  I'm busy today shopping and getting ready for Sunday when the family comes over for dinner.  I have baskets for the kiddies so it will be fun hiding and finding the eggs.  

Thank you Kathy!  Happy Easter to you and your family!
