This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

This is one of my favorites, and one I repeat many times during the day, when I'm not feeling like rejoicing. It has helped me keep my temper many times!

I see both of your comments, that happens sometimes. I think you may need to use your refresh button if you don't see it right away.

thanks, great prayer. I will keep you in my prayers. Loss of a son or any person you love affects a person their whole life. But you really seem to have moved on and enjoy life. Wonderful. God Bless. I've lost a few myself. Just like most people I guess, doesn't make me special, I just think it affects people dramatically when it starts very young though. Sometimes it makes me afraid to start relationships because I think they will die on me too!

Life is for the living, I just have to remember that.

I'm not trying to be a pest, but when you say that sometimes it make you afraid to start relationships that makes me sad. After my son's death a friend of his was talking to me.
He told me he and his wife had decided not to have children. Now, I would never ask why - none of my business - but he continued and told me the reason he wouldn't have children was because he couldn't deal with it if they died. I told him exactly what I'm telling you now, if I had known before I conceived Jason, that I would lose him, I still would have had him. I wouldn't have given up those 29 years for anything. I told him, if that was his only reason for not having children, please reconsider. I'm happy to say that after a few month's and after speaking to his pastor, he is now the overly proud parent of a beautiful
daughter. I'm sorry you lost someone you loved when you were young, that did not happen to me, but a girl I went to school with lost her mother when we were in 4th grade. I still remember that, I remember how sad I felt for her. I'm sorry for your losses, remember these people, remember the good times, the times they made you laugh, or the times they made you so mad you could spit. Write letters to them. But never be afraid to love someone, or get close to someone.

I still can't see any other post except the one's you did. I'm even on a different computer. Weird. Have a blessed day.

great, no I have been on this site on three different computers and still only see your comments. Have a wonderful day.

dwheeler6201, i see now why your comments weren't showing, they should be there now, : )!! I'm still learning how to use the website. Thanks.

Great!

Sometimes a year and a half later i catch myself looking down the street to my sisters house, except she lives in heaven not Warrenton...then I get sad for her girls, it is a vicious cycle with the ups and downs, a great memory can start a crying session. In those times we only have our faith in the promise to get us through.

I have spent quite a bit of time in Warrenton in my lifetime, they have a church out there, Strack Church, and it burned down two times, but they built it back up. The residents refuse to let the vandals win, which is good. I didn't live here I don't think when it burned down, I had already moved out of town, but when I came back, it was gone, if I remember correctly. Not sure what years it burned down. Why someone would burn a church down two times in a row sounds more like revenge than anything, but I wasn't aware of all of it till it was over.

Anyway, my point is this. The church is still there, with the graveyard!

God bless you and your struggles.
