It is truly amazing how much healing has occurred in the past eight years. Most of it was from the grace of God....but a large part of it has been from Turner, Emmaline, and William. My hardest day of the year happens to be on Thanksgiving this year, and I have so much to be thankful for.
"The crucial thing for us to remember is that all that God does for us as his children is for our good. He is blessed in both the giving and the taking away because both are for the sake of our joy.
Often it is in the taking away that our true love and trust are revealed, which is a great mercy to us and usually for others. And often, in this age, the most valuable, most satisfying, most beneficial, longest lasting gifts we receive and pass along to others end up coming through the experiences of our losses." -Jon Bloom
"The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21
