God has a way of encouraging others through us even when we wonder how we could be encouraging. you are doing just that (being an example of joy in Christ during trials). We don't forget that you are mourning such a great loss, a great friend, your husband who brought you so much joy, love, care, headship, friendship. We remember you as you grieve and cling to the Savior.Ingrid's Organic Body Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378431040677986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967120109771786511.post-37087978661856351192008-02-25T10:27:00.000-08:002008-02-25T10:27:00.000-08:00Heather and children, we continue to pray for you ...Heather and children, we continue to pray for you as you come out of the shock and deal with the painful reality.

I've only been trying to get a comment on here for a week, but blogger wouldn't accept my password, said my email didn't exist, & then wouldn't let me even read comments. I thought this was just going to be another rejected post.<BR/> I really feel for you & you are on my mind everyday. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am so glad your husband redeemed his time by investing God in his children. Obviously this house he left isn't going to fall as it was built upon the Rock. I'm very glad to have 'met' you & will continue to lift you & yours up to our Father who has ordained this path for you before the foundation of the world in His lovingkindness. Acts 17:26<BR/><BR/> May your journey be more like a vapor, a flower of the field, & a fleeting shadow until you meet again at that glorious worship service before His throne.<BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Heather<BR/>Phil. 1:20Amongchosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574960572548277115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967120109771786511.post-72612253930904372572008-02-25T08:58:00.001-08:002008-02-25T08:58:00.001-08:00Hello Heather, You don't know me, but I've been k...Hello Heather, <BR/> You don't know me, but I've been keeping up with your blog with my family. The wife of a young man at our church just went to be with the Lord 3 days before your husband went. They are also adoptive parents.
