The fact that you mentioned my books so kindly was a surprise and a gift...a reassuring comfort perhaps from above? Thank you my kind and generous friend, as always, for offering this comforting respite. I pray your trials have resolved in a perfect way for you and all concerned.<br />Much Love and friendship, <br />Tracey xoxTracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-14101503055723618582018-05-31T06:07:44.620-04:002018-05-31T06:07:44.620-04:00I have read along similar lines and find much sola...I have read along similar lines and find much solace, pleasure and calm in their company.

Praying that this current valley will bring greater wisdom, a closer sense of being in His arms and endurance for the upward climb to the next mountain.<br /><br />Second - thank you for this list. I'm always looking for new-to-me books especially for moments when I need peace and comfort. Some of the ones you enjoy are also my favorites but many are ones I've not read before.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251936768042830801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-28772207039466189532018-05-29T03:01:11.186-04:002018-05-29T03:01:11.186-04:00((praying))... xx((praying))... xxJenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-56446439695469716862018-05-29T00:05:00.223-04:002018-05-29T00:05:00.223-04:00thinking of you and hope all ends up well.xxthinking of you and hope all ends up well.xxannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136370444685061782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-74531815537747788422018-05-27T22:31:05.198-04:002018-05-27T22:31:05.198-04:00I, too, will lift you and your situation to our lo...I, too, will lift you and your situation to our loving Father!

I am frustrated by bloggers who do not tell all. 😏 Course, as I am one of those, I understand there are circumstances where the particulars must be kept secret in order to protect the innocent or the guilty as the case may be. I am praying for equilibrium in your corner to be restored. <br /><br />I have heard Jewels’ name many times through the years; sadly, I did not read her blog. I do extend my sincere sympathies to you and all those in Blogdom who are experiencing this huge loss. Her influence was wide and good. <br /><br />Yes, like you, I can not read anything that requires too much attention or thought when I am in the tall grass. I find essays or blogs perfect for that. I read Pilgrim’s Inn first as well. Hmmm...your influence perhaps! <br /><br />(If this posts twice, please discard...)Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-43696828173667129782018-05-27T17:06:21.262-04:002018-05-27T17:06:21.262-04:00Praying for God’s strength, grace, wisdom and peac...Praying for God’s strength, grace, wisdom and peace for you and your situation!

It was my mother's copy and I think I was in high school. D.E. Stevenson is the main author I turn to in difficulties. I found Jewel's obituary online, but still do not understand what happened. It sounded unexpected and I think that makes everything more difficult. They are in my prayers and so are you and your family, Brenda.

The women's Bible study I attended just completed Armor of God, by Priscilla Shirer on Ephesians 6, which is helpful as I envision putting on and holding all the elements of protection, and then using prayer. We like many of the same authors, especially in hard times they bring comfort and/or escapism from difficulty.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-80157030794238129652018-05-27T13:46:27.345-04:002018-05-27T13:46:27.345-04:00Aww, praying for you and your situation.Aww, praying for you and your situation.Instagram.com/melissasnoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389672466065251231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-80268577522730454562018-05-27T13:40:37.728-04:002018-05-27T13:40:37.728-04:00I was beyond sad to hear about Jewels.
