Yes, I too find much strength from my faith. I know in my heart their is comfort in my Lord's caress as it comes in so many forms. Even your post allowed me to speak things I have difficulty facing in myself. Such events are in my view, God presenting opportunities for me to grow in healing and faith. Thankyou too Seekerofanswers and I hope and prayer you find still more favours from God that carry you on. Personally I believe angels come into our lives in the form of people showing us the way to overcome, naturally our gratitude can only be expressed when we CHOOSE TO SEE his presence in our own lives.

We are all blessed with abundant love and it is of no value to us or others till we acknowledge and share our blessings. Go forward Seekerofanswers knowing there is abundant love, for you and from you, that is awaiting us at every turn when we open our heart and soul to it's influence in our lives.

God bless us with open eyes and hearts that we might appreciate that our cup is always full. Bless us Lord that we may grow in strength and overcome our suffering and that of those around us. Grant us Lord the wisdom we receive through forgiveness. Forgive them Lord for they know what they do. And Forgive me Lord for I know not what I do.

Fond regards from your sister in faith Frances.
If you care to, I would be glad to continue off the board by email as I have only a few friends in fellowship.

PS My username of Frances is the beautiful name I gave my dear baby Frances who died in the womb many years ago. My subsequent child carries Claire as her middle name as St Clair was a follower of St Francis. Small, yet to me significant expressions of my faith.
