it does.
My father passed away on June 29. He turned 87 on June 28. He was a veteran of WWII and participated in the Invasion of Normandy. He is at peace now.
My mother is in a nursing home with alzheimer's. She doesn't realize he's gone. She doesn't know me. Life can be very sad at times but it is something we all have to deal with. The loss of a loved one.
The other problems are still here. So much to deal with. But God won't give you more than you can handle. Sometimes in these difficult times you can realize how strong you really are.
I did get an email from bumblebeansbasics.com. Please check out their site. They are looking for quilts to be donated. I sent one some weeks ago and did not realize they were giving away prizes. They had a drawing this week and I won six feedsacks and four patterns. That is so nice. So if you think you can help them please check them out.
Please enjoy every day.

ReplyDeleteI came to say thank you for your comment. However I am also touched by this post. I currently have a grandfather who has been like a father to me with Alzheimers and I know how heart breaking it is. He will be 80 on 10/10/10 and we're having a little family party to celebrate his life.
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that God never gives you more than you can handle and I'll add you and your family to my prayers
