This is such a blessing. I heartily agree with you regards scripture memorization. I also find great comfort in the many hymns I have sung over the years as they will come back into my mind so often and they are also so wonderfully encouraging. I too love to read about survivors of the holocaust. I have such a heart for the Jewish people and all they have endured and even still experience. Shalom and blessings to you this day Karen ~ Linda Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-89648091964063928182022-01-22T16:55:52.894-08:002022-01-22T16:55:52.894-08:00I agree with you that the saddest part of all that...I agree with you that the saddest part of all that is happening is the divisiveness, especially among believers of the Bible. How gleeful satan must feel, watching people tear each other down in fear. I'm so sorry to hear you don't have a church family at this time. That is one of the things that has kept my household so sane and normal, being able to spend time with our church group. I wonder if you have found an online church or community that you can connect with. I am on the other side of the world, but my church is online as well, if you would be interested in seeing what is going on there, I could send you more information / a website. <br /><br />Last year, my uncle gave me a book about a Russian holocaust survivor; she was a believer and knew a lot of scripture. I was reminded that sometimes our books are taken away, everything we have, but what we have memorized can never be taken. You are wise to read and memorize scripture! <br /><br />I hope you find new hope and encouragement for your journey in 2022. <br />Regards from Colorado.<br />Karen, at karenzeph@aol.comKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123920968850176646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-32023591388701920822022-01-08T14:22:37.020-08:002022-01-08T14:22:37.020-08:00Amen and thank you Mrs O'Sullivan for encourag...Amen and thank you Mrs O'Sullivan for encouraging me !!

So much of what you have spoken about has resonated with me also. I am so sorry for all the disruption and sadness in your life this past year. I feel that it is best to keep a humble heart in all situations and realize that If we are serving the Lord with our whole heart, he will direct our paths and keep us in His care in the difficult decisions. <br />Also, I want to thank you for the lovely photos of your beautiful garden! We are in winter here in the USA and seeing your photos brings me so much joy and hope for the future. You and your husband are a fantastic team indeed! <br />God bless you, from a quiet reader in Arizona��Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-45681187358940346922022-01-05T00:34:18.732-08:002022-01-05T00:34:18.732-08:00Thank you dear Roxy for your prayers and kind word...Thank you dear Roxy for your prayers and kind words of truth.

I clean things. I teach my kids history. I feel like all of history has been rolled up and here we are where nothing matters. This whole world seems like it hasn't learned a bit of anything from any hard day or war. It looks like a mess of ungrateful souls screaming at the sky, screaming at God. But in his great mercy He responds, not with rage, but with, "I love you. This is the way, walk in it." Many hear. People you did not expect, would be drop-jaw shocked to see, are walking along the way now with us. No, it's true.<br /><br />And this, from Amelia (hi!) above: "...Even when churches fail morally..." This digs into my heart. But you know what? It's like the story from the bible where God is able to raise up children for Abraham even among these stones, the cry for morality returning will come from most unlikely place. From those wrenched from the grip of sin. In these days that cry will come from these people, not the "holy" ones. It's the sick that need a physician. <br /><br />Don't lose hope. Something good is coming.<br /><br />Bless you 💙Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-47227315632177295332022-01-03T23:34:35.926-08:002022-01-03T23:34:35.926-08:00..and thank you for praying for me Amelia, I sorel.....and thank you for praying for me Amelia, I sorely need those prayers (big hug) ~ LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-90472533601542668162022-01-03T23:32:58.598-08:002022-01-03T23:32:58.598-08:00Sweet friend, your words are such a comfort...my t...Sweet friend, your words are such a comfort...my thoughts and feelings see saw so much.

It's quite a trial here too but nothing like what is going on in your world. There is quite a bit of corruption in institutions here too and it's affected our family and friends directly, tragic losses. I feel like the closing scene in the old movie, "Mrs. Miniver" as they sing in the war torn church sticking together in unity after huge losses. I understand how you must feel and I can certainly relate to the quote by Einstein on the previous post, it's so true, nothing so satisfying as our Father in Heaven. I understand the walk you are speaking of, yes, I do. It truly is a lonely walk at times but the Father is with us. Even when churches fail morally, how awful and disappointed you must feel on that. We must hang on to the Father as I know you are doing. I hear your heart and so does the Lord. I hope I haven't missed anything, it's late here and I'm not 100 percent.<br /><br />Let's stick together as you write. God bless and be with you, I also think of the scene in the movie, Sound of Music when the nun at the end tells Maria that God will be with them. A warm hug to you, Love, AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.com
