When it doesn't happen the way we want, the day/event is ruined for us. I'm finding that when I spend time praying before an occasion, my focus is where it should be: on Him and serving those I love.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SusanSusan J.

Ans I KNOW she loves them as she chose them herself.... but isn't know I was going back for them as a gift. I KNOW she is happy and glad she has them - I still waited for the WOW mum thanks- and realised - she IS thankful I don't need to hear her say it. Funny, then a fe hours later I am reading this blog thinking - Yes, nail on the head stuff. Thanks Jeanette. I am thankful to God for the opportunity He gave me to provide something for my daughter in law she wasn't able to do herself. Need to learn to turn it around more often.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810682755953097099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-26539281538603884062015-02-10T16:45:37.372-06:002015-02-10T16:45:37.372-06:00Jeanette: A dear friend has the gem of a ministry ...Jeanette: A dear friend has the gem of a ministry idea that she wishes to see started. She has asked me to write the intro letter to the women,recently widowed, for whom the new ministry group will be designed. The support group should have those women in the group steering it. I find your words here timely. Neither she nor I are in that circumstance, yet. But we both have had close calls with husbands and their illnesses. PLEASE PRAY FOR US.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-57142106881514779822015-02-10T14:47:56.636-06:002015-02-10T14:47:56.636-06:00This hits right in the heart, Jeanette.

But...I can still hope that people will appreciate my efforts. I hope I can get better as time goes on (yes, over five decades for me too!), and with his splashes of grace, I will!Ceilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-29277274974623561772015-02-10T11:03:26.769-06:002015-02-10T11:03:26.769-06:00I'm with you Jeanette.

So true that we need to look to God always. I recently finally GOT what it meant to surrender and blogged about it.
