We do...

Love this printable from PINK INK DOODLE. Head on over and grab them. Be sure to thank her!

It's only Wednesday!?

This week has been a rough one for me. Not quite sure why although I do have an idea. You see in 31 days the kids and I will be going to a family summer camp with some other widows and their children. For us it has been 6 1/2 years since Jeff went home to the Lord. We are the farthest out. I have not met two of the other women except for becoming friends on facebook. One family is 4 1/2 years out and the others are just 2+ years out and I feel their pain. I wonder if the Lord is helping me to remember how I felt so that I can have the words to share with these women? That I would come with an open heart?

As a widow you have to learn to suck it up so to speak. Life goes on around you and you have to live in this world. But, we deal with things personally and with our children that I would not wish on anyone.

So..It has been a rough emotional week. No sleep. Not hungry. Just going through the motions. So this morning when the kids left for school I sat down with a cup of coffee and the next thing I knew it was two hours later. Thank you Jesus! I am feeling better just having had a nap and being able to share. Would you pray with me that our family and these other three families would head to camp with open and willing hearts. That our children will feel "normal" being around others like them and that God will be glorified in all ways?


I love these verses. 

Proverbs 3:1-8

 1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
   but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
   and bring you peace and prosperity.  3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
   bind them around your neck,
   write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
   in the sight of God and man.
 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight.[a]
 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
   fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
   and nourishment to your bones.

Love, Teresa
