She's never been one to give up on anything. But my sister told me that when Mom got the latest news (not good) that she seemed excited about the possibility of going home.<br /><br />I wouldn't have expected Bonnie Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739210745162252731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35193502.post-7987806083221358452011-08-25T11:56:51.695-07:002011-08-25T11:56:51.695-07:00Just read this post!

It's hard to watch our parents enter that season when the body starts to breakdown. Ah ... don't you just yearn for the time when all will be made new? Three cheers for a glorified body! :) xoMiriam Cheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481819606393186908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35193502.post-79970275845218280712011-08-16T11:13:40.361-07:002011-08-16T11:13:40.361-07:00Miriam, you have such a tender heart for the Lord....Miriam, you have such a tender heart for the Lord. I can see it in your words.<br /><br />I wish I could say I'm having a wonderful time at the conference, but I'm not there. My mother was supposed to be having open heart surgery this week, so I had to step aside in time to allow my class to step into other classes. As it turned out, Mom's still waiting.

He is the restorer of dwellings, the builder of walls and hearts, so able to accomplish all that concerns us. <br /><br />Missing you this week! Praying for your back and strength as you minister to writers at the conference.

When I see couples who are very different from each other I see God's special handling. We need one another to balance our lives. Where one is weak the other is strong and vice versa. It works out so much better that way. : - )<br /><br />God bless you.Bonnie Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739210745162252731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35193502.post-84487033930258486152011-08-16T00:15:27.579-07:002011-08-16T00:15:27.579-07:00Thank you, Jel.

Randy and I are at 39--but been together for 43 yrs. Gosh, no other couple could be as different as we are, as most people laughingly see immediately--but we love our differences and each other and utilize God's grace and mercy in our lives together all the time.

Sticking with a bad marriage for 25 years takes great strength and courage. <br /><br />I've never figured out why some are blessed and others aren't, but I'm so glad that you found a mate who shares your faith. What a blessing that is.<br /><br />May the Lord bless you in amazingBonnie Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739210745162252731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35193502.post-77102930302821692702011-08-15T06:15:58.873-07:002011-08-15T06:15:58.873-07:00Inspiring story, Bonnie, and one that needs to be ...Inspiring story, Bonnie, and one that needs to be shared in this day and age. I just read an interview with a recently divorced actress. She said life was too short to have to work at a relationship so she got out and is confident she'll find someone else...for a time. <br /><br />How sad, but how glorious the change God can make in a marriage!

After 25 years of marriage he left me for another woman...he claimed she was the love of his life. I was a Christian and he wasn't.
