Hi ladies,
Thank you so much for your prayers that I asked for recently. I wanted to let you know that we have reason to be hopeful that this ordeal is coming to an end, or even over all together (please please please, Lord.) Every day that passes "uneventfully" is a good sign, but it will take some time to feel secure and peaceful in daily life again.
And with that said . . . going forward, I promised God that I would be much more grateful of every day, "normal" life. It's something I realize that I have been failing to do, as I've let little things get in the way of a positive and appreciative attitude.
So learn from my mistake. Every morning you wake up in peace and safety, thank God for it. Rejoice when you can go to the grocery store or make a phone call or run your laundry without panic and fear because of some terrible weight on your shoulders. It sounds simplistic, but it's the truth - life is too good and Jesus is too generous to take anything for granted. We have Eternity to look forward to because of Him. May we never forget it.
God bless you all and thank you again, immensely, for praying. I ask the Mother of the Redeemer to pray for you and for Jesus to bless you for your kindness and love to a stranger! "Whatesoever you do to the least of My people, you do unto Me."
over and out.
