Somewhat Sad Sunday

I got the news today that an old friend had passed away. More precisely He was the husband of a friend of mine. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. It just reinforces what we all ready know... that life is just a moment in time. And that we should live like we earnestly mean it. Tomorrow, will be the wake and viewing, so just join me in prayer for all those involved. My heart aches or all the tragedy of Haiti and for all the innocent children. To say this week has been rough is an understatement. But, I still give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and grace. He is abundantly good and knows all. I have a praise .. my daughter got to witness to someone this week and she is growing in her spiritual walk ,she has become such an encouragement to me. I thank God for her. She starts college this week so I will see less of her(sigh). Well. I leave you with this thought and suggestion to love your loved ones. Hug them. Tell them. and forgive them. This after all is what the Lord commands.

Thanks Mari!

My new layout is due to my teen daughter and her knowledge of html codes. Who knew those things would actually benefit me one day ;) so a big thank you to her. I wanted to let my friends and fellow bloggers know that my recent family turmoil is finally taking a turn for the better. I am so grateful to everyone who has been praying and all the kind letters and e-mails, I appreciate all of you. My church family has really been there too and I am so grateful to them also. And mostly to God above. He is the true healer. Amen. Last week I ran across this quote I wanted to share with you all.

Every experience God gives us,
Every person He puts into our lives is the
perfect preparation for a future
only He can see

I have learned and re-learned that these last couple of weeks. God is good and He knows all. I basically wanted to give an update and let everyone know that my brother is healing. It will be some time before he is back to the way he was but we are grateful to still have him here and for God's grace that has chosen to answer our prayers. I look forward to a changed heart and a grateful heart my brother is already demonstrating. thank you Jesus. Sometimes He calls us to Him in different ways. I continue to ask for your prayers and thank each of you with a humble heart. To Him is the glory.
blessings, lize

Urgent Prayer request!

To my circles of family and friends it has been a tuff weekend and a week ahead is still scary for me. I ask that you all continue to pray for my brother George. He had a ruptured aneurysm on friday and was treated with the coil method. But, now he has developed fluid in the lungs. so please just pray for his healing and that it be God's will to save him. Thanks so much, lize
