I ache for her and you and I don't even know you. I prayed for so many things for her and her family. Mostly I prayed she would find hope. I even gave her a hint as to where to find it. I see you knew exactly where to find it. He is indeed swaddled in a manger.<br /><br />Dear one I pray for your daddy. I have spent seven Christmas' without mine. I know without question where he is. We can never know what the outcome for your daddy will be. I pray your desire for earthly healing is granted. I know your knowledge of that Baby will bring you hope!<br /><br />God Bless you!Auntie Miphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587331779041550284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-11778818386368117352011-12-25T19:28:42.695-05:002011-12-25T19:28:42.695-05:00I'm sorry you are facing this pain right now! ...I'm sorry you are facing this pain right now!

Christmas is tough when you are suffering. Everyone around you seems so happy, but for you, the lights are blaring, and the music too loud. And you just want to cry and run away until it is over.<br /><br />My mother died on Christmas night many years ago, unexpectedly, and with my then-7-yr.-old daughter lying beside her in bed. The tree lights were blinking that morning, mocking me after we found her. The unwrapped presents under its branches seemed vulgar and rude just by their very presence.<br /><br />It was SUPPOSED to be a happy time. Bad things weren't supposed to happen - not on that day.<br /><br />God is my Father, and Christ is His Son, our Savior. I believed that - and still do. But, like you, I didn't FEEL it that year. <br /><br />I have learned, Jill, that as Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place) said, "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still." He will not leave you or forsake you. He will be ever-present in the hurt, the pain, and the confusion. Of course you know this, but you just need others to affirm this for you right now.<br /><br />May His grace be upon you and your family. I will keep reading and praying for you. May it help just a little to know that when you many not even feel like praying, others are doing it for you.<br /><br />God bless you,<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776211400953012440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-80603936334576277592011-12-25T02:35:13.211-05:002011-12-25T02:35:13.211-05:00Oh honey...sending love and praying for the comfor...Oh honey...sending love and praying for the comfort that only the Comforter can give.Auntie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610977491641901739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-76344506105086520142011-12-24T23:33:58.914-05:002011-12-24T23:33:58.914-05:00Jill,

I did cry as I read, and Jill,I am praying for you daily. I don't know the pain personally, but the way you express your feelings into words for the world to see really hits home. I pray that the Lord be with you through all of the trials you face. You're an amazing person who deserves nothing but happiness after all you have been through.JessicaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956930788593141038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-13661185050877193342011-12-24T22:10:15.918-05:002011-12-24T22:10:15.918-05:00Jill this brought me to tears for so many reasons....Jill this brought me to tears for so many reasons. Your faith inspires me more than I could ever describe. There are a million cliche things I could say right now and they'd probably all be true. But I just want to give you a great big hug and tell you I love you. <3Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03675074107231603372noreply@blogger.com
