How precious, touching & very moving! Such a beautiful mother's heart! I can so relate though I'm not in touch with most of my family, it is my son that I have not seen in over 10 years & spoken to only once on the phone.Not even emails. Yet I must trust God & believe that God is in control & His Love is so powerful that it will penetrate any separation. That seeds planted between 3 -18 in his life by God draws Him closer to God than he chooses to be to me & I will give thanks! There is nothing that can replace God's Love. I pray it may be restored between us! And I believe that love renewal is a constant relationship need...Your photos are such a delight! Your JOY in seeing God's protection & allowing your daughter in love to be with your son is a sacrificial love! That is quite a beautiful piece of your heart!!! Bless your New Year in 2009!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-44746596507970874782009-01-01T23:52:00.000-08:002009-01-01T23:52:00.000-08:00This is beautiful!!

It's hard, isn't it--giving up our control for God's control--particularly when it comes to our children. But, God knows His plans and purposes--we do not--so what better place to place our "list"?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a blessed CHRISTmas and a more blessed New Year!<BR/><BR/>Bethsailorcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378552999540084798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-82157899024068549462008-12-30T14:36:00.000-08:002008-12-30T14:36:00.000-08:00It's weird to think that you have been blogging fo...It's weird to think that you have been blogging for almost a year! When I see you blogging it up, it makes me thankful to have a very Godly mom who cares deeply for her children. Thanks mom. I love you so very much from the bottom of my heart!

I understand completely a mother's love. I, too, have spend a Christmas without her son a couple of years ago. It was his choice to stay away...what a lonely feeling it was. However, God also gave me the peace that I needed to get through that day and 6 months of days following not knowing where he was, no way to contact him, not knowing is he was dead or alive. God is faithful and God is so good.<BR/><BR/>This year...made up for that long, lonely Christmas without Brandon because this was the best Christmas that we have ever spent together as a family. I mean it...literally...EVER! Roger made several comments on how peaceful things were, how great it was to have Brandon here with us and how much we both enjoyed his presence.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy that Rachel got to spend Christmas with Jeremy in South Korea! I know that meant so much to Jeremy and to you as a mom that your baby boy wasn't alone on Christmas but with his family...his beautiful new bride.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, Laurie...you bless me daily.<BR/><BR/>I love you, girl!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12379308095114107570noreply@blogger.com
