It is when we are NOT able to do anything for our loved ones that we hurt the most. That is when we must leave the matter in God's most capable hands. We pray, work in harmony with our prayers, and "wait" on God to do His "thing". And it's even HARDER to NOT take it back from His hands. (I have a hard time with that, usually it takes a brick over the head for me to LEAVE it! lol) I see here on this blog, just an incredible number of arms and hearts that hold you, your wife, and Little Bit in them. Ya'all are not alone. Just soak up the REAL love here and let it strengthen you. Love NEVER fails.Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097359543490900341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-89067584512841802562012-05-17T17:12:02.354-04:002012-05-17T17:12:02.354-04:00In My Prayers. .

I...We too are having a glorious thunderstorm today. I'm sitting on my front porch enjoying it. The ozone has turned everything a lusher, more verdant green than normal. The tomatoes and peppers have spread their leaves to soak it in, and the eggplants have raised their branches to the sky, almost closing them around themselves, as though engaged in a private rain dance. Silly eggplants. *flash* one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand, four-one-thousand, five-one-thousand, six-one-thousand, seven-one-thous...rumbling rolls over us, shaking the windows before it flows further inland along the valley. I hope there's more on the way. My teenager pops out to have a few words about dinner, Mac-n-cheese with tomatoes and beans and a huge salad is the consensus. He hops out to pick the greens, pausing to spread his arms and tip his head back to the rain. Silly eggplant. <br />I found your blog a while back and started reading the archives, but lost the address before I remembered to put you on my blog roll. Then I couldn't find you again, until I looked and there you were.
