Hello friends...
Since I've been leading YES to GOD studies I've never done this before, but I am not going to post on this chapter this week.
A very close family friend of ours met Jesus face to face today.
My heart is filled with a mixture of joy and deep sadness as I know he is right where Jesus wants him to be but too far away to hug on. I will post later about my friend as his name will forever be etched on my heart. A heart that aches to give him one more hug and kiss even though last night at this time I was doing just that and a heart that rejoices that he knew and loved Jesus Christ.
I love you Freddie Bill and if you can pry yourself away from Jesus, tell your brother Bruce hello for us...xoxo.
Thanks for your understanding and can't wait to read what God has shown you in this chapter.
On a lighter note...this morning my teen son Aaron walked up to me in the kitchen, stuck his neck to my nose and asked me if he smelled good. I took a whiff of the Sean John Unforgivable cologne he got for Christmas and said, "Mmmmm yes."
With much confidence he smiled and said,
"Of course I do, cuz it's me. Even my B.O. smells good."
Oh Lord thank you for this family that gives me daily blog material.
If you have something on this chapter that you have posted on your own blog, please sign up under Mr. Linky so we can visit you. Thank you!
Next week: Chapter 5 "Awake My Soul".

Hi Lelia. Thank you for letting us know - I was worried about you. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I never fret for the ones who are gone; it's the pain of those left behind. Praying for you tonight and in the days to come.
I'm so sorry, Lelia. They are rejoicing up there at his arrival, you know...
Praying for those left behind.
Praying for you in the loss of your loved one. Even though there is peace in knowing where he's at, the tears still fall, so praying you feel His peace even during your pain.
Blessings,

I am so sorry for your grief. May the Lord comfort you greatly during this time.
I am thankful God gave you your darling son to bring light and levity into your life. Sounds like something my son would say. Love them boys!
Looks like you are doing a great thing on your blog to bring people closer to God. I know that God lives and He loves us. I know that He wants us to be happy and has provided a way for us to return to Him. He doesn't want any of us missing when the time comes for us to leave this earth. When the Savior comes again He wants all of us there. We can do it if we help each other. Thanks.
Finally! My chapter 4 post has been written and made available. Chapter 5 is on it's way. I hope you are doing well lovely lady. xo
