I've added a link to my sig line because I never know when someone is having a particularly hard struggle on any day.

So I offer the link in the hope that someone might find a little comfort there...for Today and any day they might need a little "comfort."

(((((Hugs to all who are Hurting)))))

God bless.

I am so grateful to God I know you, FH. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> To think of the ****** you have been through in your life and yet you continue to come here every day to help others. You never whine about your own life, you always think of others. Often in the face of hostility and spite from those who hate God's truth. God must smile when he looks down on you, FH.

Thank you, FH. It has been a long time since I thanked God for the thorns in my life. I really needed this today. My best friends mother is dying of cancer.

Here's one for you:


When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see:
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me:
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me I know you’ll miss me too:
But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things I’d miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you.
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day’s the same day, there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
But have been forgiven and now at last you’re free,
So won’t you take my hand and share my life with me?”

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

God gives us Today and Today only. But we have a hard time grasping His gift.

For Today, and every Today: God bless.

Off Topic threadjack: Anyone hear that song "had a bad day".....that is one cool tune. I downloaded this song to my ipod after reading FH's nice post here. Now I can't get the dang song out of my head.....thanks alot FH !!

Thank you for your kind words. But remember, I am the lump of clay with many flaws, and He is the Master Potter reworking the clay over and over to get the flaws out and make the vessel He is shaping worthy of His use. Never underestimate what God can do with a little dirt and dust and everlasting water.

There's a video I bought from the Potters Ministry almost 4 years ago. It might be something you'd like to see. They, too, went through the fire of infidelity and God is using their ministry in a powerful way.

God bless.

Doc, is that anything like that tune "It's a small world after all..."

Rattles around in shuffle mode replay for a long time.

FH,

My friend. There is a lot going on in my world right now. I had just typed an email to a friend of mine concerning my battles and how tired I get sometimes. About how some of the things going on in my life, I just cant understand. I asked my friend to pray, that maybe some of this would be revealed to me so I could at least understand the trials.

Two minutes later, I am reading this thread by you. Please know that at least in one person's life (me), you have been used by God today.

In His arms.

Wow FH. What a wonderful thread. Thanks for taking the time to help others that are not there yet.

Thank you, FH. I am going to send some of this thread to my friend. She is in a world of hurt though her faith is very strong.

Thank you, FH. Bless you and yours!
