A Sad Thanksgiving for my family
Gwen,
My friend, thank you for your words of comfort. I know He doesn't give us more than we can handle, but it sure can hurt very much.
My sister has not been asking why, the faith that woman has is such an inspiration. I have faith, but I don't know if I could have held up like she has if I had lost one of my children. She has accepted God's will with no question whatsoever.
I know there is a reason and it is not for us to know and when we do get to heaven where we will know the reason, we won't care. His will be done.
Tomorrow is going to be hard...the funeral and it is 100% rain predicted. We will be in north Mobile County and I think the brunt of the Tornadic actvity and strong thunderstorms are supposed to be east of us in Baldwin County. I hope we will have enough of a let up to at least have some time at the cemetery.
Thanks again for caring. Love you. Rose with Thorns

Deb,
Thank you for your kind words. Your words were more of a comfort than I can express. Thank you for taking the time to stop and pray for comfort for my family.
God is holding us all in His loving arms. If not, I don't think we could survive. There is one, his dad (my sister's ex) who has been so full of anger. He doesn't know God, but I have to believe that God is holding him too and with prayer he will come to know God through this horrible ordeal. We have all been praying for him. He is so miserable. It is so sad and heartbreaking. Please remember him, Jeff's dad especially in your prayers if you don't mind. The funeral is tomorrow (Tuesday) and I know it is going to be a rough day for all, but especially for him
Thank you again and God bless you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family. We will be laying Jeff to rest tomorrow. The funeral is tomorrow afternoon. It is going to be a rough day.
You are so right about the holidays. They are going to be hard for his wife and babies. I know they will be hard for my sister too, but her deep, deep faith has held her up. She has been able to remember him with a joy, but the last couple of days I have seen the physical tole it is taking on her. She has taken on a lot to help his wife and babies.
Please continue your prayers especially tomorrow that we can all get through our final goodbyes. I will be there for them as much as I can, but God is who we all need the most.
God bless you and yours during this the season celebrating His birth.

Connie, This breaks my heart as I read it. Please know your family is in my prayers. I love you and miss you all. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but the holidays make it harder. God bless. P.S. I will never forget that scream either. Love you!
For every Goliath, there is a Stone! His name is Jesus!"
