As a child, one has no rights and no recourse (or at least in my day)...as an adult often we can walk away...or make the difficult choice to stay put. It is my hope for the next life that enables me to stay put. Because THERE at least I have hope of fairness and justice. It is slim and rare here...at least in my life. Thanks for the good words. Blessings on your eyes. It is so hard to not be able to see clearly. I too have a veil over mine. Though perhaps with the years it has lessened a bit. <br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-87149748859059594082018-08-01T10:39:08.421-04:002018-08-01T10:39:08.421-04:00I just saw on your side bar the post from Sallie B...I just saw on your side bar the post from Sallie Borrink about the FREE Kindle books, thanks so much for this info you share!Instagram.com/melissasnoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389672466065251231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-67947811709564866002018-07-31T08:55:06.589-04:002018-07-31T08:55:06.589-04:00Sometimes God makes us go through things for the b...Sometimes God makes us go through things for the benefit/learning of other people in our lives. <br />How we come out of that experience is the joy that God brings to us.<br />Glad to see you sharing more.Instagram.com/melissasnoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389672466065251231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-64895550547038360042018-07-30T11:15:38.977-04:002018-07-30T11:15:38.977-04:00Still praying for your healing, Brenda!

So much in this post that I’d like to comment on, but won’t. I could take it behind the scenes, but you shouldn’t spend much time reading screens. So glad that you are able to read some and that cooler temps have come for a while.

I sometimes think 'the world is watching' - both Christians and non-Christians - to our response in the hard things allowed, sent, whatever into our lives. Sometimes the most unexpected and unexplainable and undesired things give us opportunities and people to speak a word to in the midst of our hard. Only eternity will show us what we cannot see now during the trials. Pray for continued healing of your eye. <br /><br />Glad to hear your weather is cooling . . . we're still super hot in the Pacific NW!GrammaGritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626901828348845721noreply@blogger.com
