I will tell you that a friend directed me to your blog today, and I am so very grateful that she did. I needed to read what you wrote, and I'll tell you that it touched me so deeply it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for being a light in this sometimes dark world, and for doing what God needs you to do. May God bless you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-35567270320005417502010-03-19T08:47:10.193-05:002010-03-19T08:47:10.193-05:00Great comments Amy!

(BTW, it's nice to have you back!) <br /><br />One of the Catechism questions we have taught our children is, "what is the chief end of man" (why are we here). The answer, "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." (1 Cor. 10:31, Psalm 73:25-28) How do we do that? First, by obeying Him, spending time with Him, etc. but also in helping others. In the way that we "feed His sheep", "clothe them", etc. we glorify Him. We may not have a grand life here on this earth but for the believer, this is as bad as it gets, for we have heaven and Christ as our eternal reward! <br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this, I know someone who will be touched by your comments!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971317642726987703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-66015061584141964942010-03-15T15:28:33.457-05:002010-03-15T15:28:33.457-05:00Love one another as I have loved you springs to mi...Love one another as I have loved you springs to mind!<br />Gracie looks adorable tooJaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141031950017193397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-41827797626008988152010-03-14T15:43:16.108-05:002010-03-14T15:43:16.108-05:00I Love your bravery!

Gives me something to think about on this cold and rainy day - I have lots to be thankful for like a warm home, a roof over my head, food for my family and time to do something nice for someone like sending them a card to say I'm thinking of them. Thanks for reminding me too!

I'm guilty of that. But my skills are more along the "helping someone in need" line. I have to keep reminding myself to use what God gave me. Send a homemade card or note, deliver a meal, give a ride, visit or phone and listen, etc. When I am on the receiving end, I realize the importance of these things better. Thanks for reminding me. Hugs to you, too!Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-36820476193371952022010-03-13T20:38:42.864-06:002010-03-13T20:38:42.864-06:00Thank you for such a heartfelt post.
