I wish I had words to make it better for you, to give you the strength to shoulder the maddness. I will say that your post did as you wished for me and mine. My life is not that bad after all right now, and thank you for showing me that. We will pray for you and your family.

Oh my God. I was so upset about now I realize are such trivial things compared to what you are enduring. God bless you and I will say prayers for you and you family.

My prayers are with you. I have often wondered how much more God would give me to endure. The day I wrote in my journal that I had lost all trust for my H, daughter, mother, family, and job, I went to church and the sermon was on "Trust in God." I'm not a tremondously religious person, but it really hit home. Those of us that pray, will pray for you to have strenghth. And those that don't will give you a sympathetic ear.<P>You are strong, let the burden go through faith, and peace will follow.<P>Take care. And thank you for reminding all of us that small blessings are still blessings.

<<<B>I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SYMPTHY...</B>>><P>Sympathy is appropriate at times like this. My heart aches with yours. I know, it is hard to believe at times God doesn't give us more than we can handle. My only answer to that is, there's wisdom in suffering.<P>Blessings,<BR>Belle ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/cool.gif)

Dear Mil,<BR>I have to agree with Nell, sympathy is needed at this very difficult time in your life. Sending prayers, positive energy and hugs your way. <BR>Life does seem so harsh sometimes, so painful. Trust in the higher powers to help you through it and give you strength.<BR>aloha, cl

My prayers are with you also. Sometimes life seems so very difficult. What do you think he is trying to teach us as we go through these times? <P>I do feel his presence though.<P>You will be in my thoughts.

Dear Mil,<P>These bad events in your family's life is not the work of God to teach us a lesson. They happen (time and unforseen circumstances) but he gives us the strength to cope and endure. <P>I pray that continual strength to be imparted to you and your family. <P>Regards,<BR>L.<BR>
