Ethel taking a leave of absence

I am overwhelmed with emotions right now due to family problems (sister) and getting our house ready to sell and move to Colorado...so for now I will be stopping the Ethel posts. I have to pick and choose what is needful and right now with homeschool and all I can't devote more time to this post...I have loved it and it has helped me so much. Thanks for your participation. Love each of you, Joan M

Joan, All the best to you during this stressfull period. We are all thinking of you and praying for you that all is resolved peacefully and your move is as unchaotic as possible. Take care, Sue

My prayers are with you Joan. We will miss you. Hurry back. Julia

Oh Dear Jaon, May God grant you the peace in your heart that you deserve right now so that you can handle situations that are going on in your life. I am thinking about you and please DO come back and start these wonderful daily postings when you can...we will miss you greatly! And remember...the clouds will soon seperate and flashings of peace will apprear very soon...I say this because my family has had a very trying few months. My husband is in the military so he has been off and on back and forth to Kuwait every few weeks for a few weeks at a time, in January his mother passed away from cancer...then just three weeks later his father "disapeared and over 8 weeks later his body was found on a back road (no foul play involved) so we are still dealing with that...my 2 year old and my 9 year old daughter's had tonsils and adenoids removed (surgery) and my youngest had tubes put in...and my teenager all of a sudden was suicidal and thank the Lord that she is on medication and has been doing well for several weeks now...I did not mean to put my "dirt" out there for everyone to read or feel sorry for me...I just really wanted to tell you that if you believe in God and his wonders he will ensure your happiness! Amy

I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers Joan. Lizzie

Good luck with the move, Joan. I hope the sister problems even out soon. I'm proud of you for prioritizing your life! Excellent work.

Joan, my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this stressful time. Take care and come back whenever you can. Will miss you Sher
