I love you and miss you so very much. I am reading another book called The courage the heart desires which is about spiritual strength in difficult times. It talks about how hard it is to accept how little we can actually do to protect those we love from dangers that lurk everywhere. Allowing those close to us to live freely in the world requires that we release them into the care of our compassionate God who wants there well-being as much as we do. A blessing from the book of Numbers 6: 24-26, turns our fears to prayer: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. There is a direct link between fear and hope, people who struggle with anxiety fueled by fears find it difficult to have hope. But as hope increases fear recedes. Every situation offers the option of hope or despair, because no one actually knows the future. But the choices we make contribute to the very scenarios we envision. We must put our hope and faith in God who strengthens us. Romans 8: 18-21 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons God. For the creation was subjected to the futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Dear Father please watch over my family & friends and keep them all safe and continue to give me strength as I trust in you to give me hope and purpose. I love you Lord Amen I love you Chris and I'll talk to you again tomorrow. night night (((hugs))) oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
