You find the balance between the the sobering 'news' of the day and the realization that some of these things must happen to move us on.<br />I think of the words of the old hymn: 'A thousand ages in Thy sight, are like an evening gone.'<br />Our span of years--precious to us--is a small moment in the long view of time.

I am sick to death of all that this world has become in just the past 25 years, we as Christians need to stand firm and stand for what we believe is true and right.I myself just recently have become so saddened that I just don't know how to deal with my own feelings.tealadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233373939739704642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-53631476240154226722015-11-01T21:37:09.255-05:002015-11-01T21:37:09.255-05:00So moving, so beautiful, so very well written.

I grew up in western Pennsylvania and have always longed for home this time of year. A couple weeks ago we flew to my hometown to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was a rich time of color and being with family. My daughter wrote about it on her blog and I wanted to share the scenes. God bless you Brenda for your insight and encouragement. http://janadiaries.blogspot.com/?m=1Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365663648268840702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-42866017620151024222015-11-01T18:58:21.461-05:002015-11-01T18:58:21.461-05:00I heard that message this morning...it was a good ...I heard that message this morning...it was a good one. I think your analogy is excellent. We see these things and know that the truly dark, cold days are coming. Oh and I appreciated what David Jeremiah said about prophecy and faith. When we see prohecy coming to fruition, we know that God's Word is true...that what He has said will come to pass. We have seen so many even in recent years.

God bless and protect his ministry.<br />A coule of weeks ago, they announced at our women's Bible study fellowship that there were 500,000 women around the world right now studying Revelation. Wow! Kinda fabulous, eh?!<br />Your writing is such a reaffirming, encouraging blessing, Brenda.

The comparison to our childhood and the values it held are astonishing.<br />Scary that many do not even remember or want to hear about it. Even deny things were so. So they are saying we lie? We lived through those times..we collectively remember them and knew so many others that did too. When i see our beautiful flag..the flag I love, it brings tears now too. I feel so ashamed that we could let this country God gave us slip so far away from what it was set up to be.<br />Your message meant so much to me. It does seem like we are sometimes alone in a hostel world. Thank you for reminding me that we are not. I imagine we all need to keep reminding ourselves of that. The things you said about the world now and how christians are viewed I did not know others felt the same way. It meant a lot agin to feel not alone there too. God even knew in this time we live that we ..you and I and all who come here..would be able to converse through the internet. That today you would post this post. Thank you for writing and using this gift he gave you. Really... Thank you....

And true. <br /><br />Your post had these words running through my head. I think it is a Kahlil Gibran saying: "If winter should say she holds spring in her heart, who would believe winter?"<br /><br />Spring will come.

We need them today for sure. He is where our hope is. Also, today's sermon was timely- Pastor talked about how fleeting our life here is. I have really had a stark reminder as we take care of mil estate. I keep thinking how much I miss talking to her, the things in our lives that I would share with her- Our new grandbaby- thanksgiving. So soon a person is gone- all that left here are things. Our graves are all same size- we don't take it with us. The Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548666978419775758noreply@blogger.com
