Number5, this sounds so simple, but I mean it with all my heart...one day at a time. God will provide. Keep the faith during this diifcult time. He is the potter, you are the clay. Let Him keep molding you.

I pray you look back on this time as period of tremendous growth in the right direction for your life.

Number5, my thoughts and prayers are with you, as are many others. Sometimes I believe that God tests the faith of those who believe most strongly because He knows they will be able to get through it somehow.

Please know how much we all care and want to know how things turn out for you and your loved ones.

If I could offer more than my prayers and good wishes, I would. But they're all I have to give you under these circumsrances.

Thank you NHJackie.

Number5,
When you are in the court and full of fear, just try to remember that our prayers are all around you protecting you, your daughter and your pecious grandchild.

In my life, God had shown His presence most powerfully when things have been at their worst and when I could not see to take the next step, He held my hand. Faith is not in what you can see or anything you can do in your own power. It is in what God can see and do in His power. And it is made evident when you have done all you can do.

My prayers are with you. I don't know enough to pray for a specific outcome. Instead I will pray for blessings in whatever comes your way.

Number5 when faced with what seems like insermountable peril I say a prayer my grandmother taught me....

May my words be only sincere and wise, my work honest and true and my thoughts ever kind and merciful. Let me listen with my heart as You do, and readily give my help to all in need. I give you my joys and accept any trials that may come knowing you are near and will draw me closer to your loving Heart.

I hope maybe these words may be of some comfort to you too...Try to remember your strength is needed by your daughter and grandbaby now more than ever. You are in my prayers.

Ah, the praying grandma...a beautiful thing. Didn't have one myself, neither do my kids, but I am trying to be one.

Chatty,
That was the most beautiful prayer I have ever heard . YOu must have had the most wonderful grandmother . I never had the pleasure to enjoy my grandparents. They died before I was born .

I was very fortunate that both my father and mothers parents lived a very long lfe. I knew my mothers parents more because we lived in their home and then were there alot even after we moved. My darling mothers mother lived to see and love both my sons and she taught me and them some wonderful life lessons. I feel blessed to have known them all. My Grandmother was a very strong presence in our lives and the most talented woman I have ever known.. there was nothing she could and did not do...

number 5, you are surrounded by the praying hearts of mothers - I believe that as mothers we are the strongest prayer warriors around when it concerns one of our children. I also believe that when our own prayers feel like they aren't landing in God's ears, the prayers of other believers keep us in His presence. I know how hard it is to keep your chin up in truly awful circumstances. Acknowledge your feelings and give them a voice during the journey through darkness but always remember that joy will come again.

flipper, I couldn't agree more. The community of believers is so important. When we are at our lowest, it is then that others carry us.

number5, find peace in knowing you are being carried in prayer.

You can't stay in a valley too long. You'll be back on the mountain-top again dragging other boomer women back up with you!
