I believe God wants family in our life...after Him. I believe it is possible to have family and if you are ALL a Christian family...and you ALL put God first...it is so much comforting to know everyone understands where you are coming from when you write this post. God comes first, and we are never alone with God in our life. If I may use food for an example. God is the mile high coconut cream pie...you take it all in first-devour it), then comes family (meat), jobs(veggies), and your house (cottage cheese :-)..... Kinda odd to use food for thought.... feel free to aadd/comment/or tell me I am totally off base....I need all the help and guidance I can get! <br /> Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782503255340045152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459568724092445416.post-87452722989701946512012-08-08T08:03:16.353-05:002012-08-08T08:03:16.353-05:00Thanks for sharing - love the lesson in this.

We were on our way to Sunday night services and the fog was incredibly thick. We literally could barely see where we were going yet, God gave us just enough vision to reach our destination. <br /><br />There are times when "walking through the valley" or trying to "navigate the dense fog" that we must rely not by sight or feeling but by the faith that he loves and cares for us and will see us through.<br /><br />Blessings dear ones!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646432820114206832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459568724092445416.post-34081857438834968442011-04-20T14:17:17.727-05:002011-04-20T14:17:17.727-05:00I am right there with you girl!I am right there with you girl!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646432820114206832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459568724092445416.post-87624875933808244192011-04-20T10:57:52.519-05:002011-04-20T10:57:52.519-05:00Good job of making me cry!

I remember just 2 1/2 years ago standing by my dad's casket for the final time, saying that it's not goodbye but see you later. It hurts; it hurts deeply and unexplainably, but the pain isn't permanent. And that makes dealing with the parting possible.Darlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459568724092445416.post-26118908564291435132010-10-08T18:04:05.690-05:002010-10-08T18:04:05.690-05:00What beautiful words from a loving friend.
