As Ruth said, I am happy to know that you have found moments of comfort in prayer. There are days when my own pain is great and while I do not pray regularly, I should, because when I do, I feel better. On a completely frivolous note, I have to say, your driftwood gate is so charming. It is creative and totally magazine worthy. You my friend are a true artist.

It seems all of us have in one way or another. Suffering of any kind is painful. I'm so happy to know that you've found a way to overcome your pain when it becomes unbearable. I hope this won't be offensive in any way, but here is a Catholic viewpoint on suffering (although this article is based on physical illness) <br />http://www.thedivinemercy.org/library/article.php?NID=2677<br />God bless and keep you and your precious daughter. Listen and you will find the purpose He has in mind for you! (I think you already have.)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367791485727217874noreply@blogger.com
