It's helpful to know some of the thoughts you shared about grieving--the unhelpful things we sometimes say to each other even with the best intentions. And I really love the rephrasing of the quote about God helping us to handle whatever comes our way. You are such a light--thank you.Rebecca Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525383277838341362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28082227903269360002018-09-21T07:53:07.138-04:002018-09-21T07:53:07.138-04:00May peace, joy and happiness be yours as you come ...May peace, joy and happiness be yours as you come through this tunnel of remembrances and heartstrings.The Lord does help us handle what we are given both to sorrow and find joy in everyday chores.

Continuing to lift you up in prayers for comfort every time you come to mind - which is quite often lately because I have been finishing up my On Ringo Lake quilt top (finished!!!!) this past week. Thank you for posting the saying that corrects “God only gives us....”. I’ve always cringed when someone says that - seriously - do we not have enough evidence around us that makes it clear that we all suffer more than we can handle at times in our lives? But truly God does help us handle all that comes our way, and I’m happy knowing that He is there with you, helping you and your family in every way.

I realize how true all of your statements are, but had never thought of the impact they had. Even through your grief you are helping others - amazing. Please try to take some gentle time for your self, be kind to yourself and put yourself first. I believe that helps, although it may not for you. Know that there are a tremendous number of people who care about you and your well being.
