God bless you all and fill you with wisdom and faith for the day. And, Ouida, I really don't know if we can possibly understand or imagine how we'll respond in such a case. From this recent experience, I know this: I was so surprised at my own reaction and subsequent action. I'd never have thought I'd do what I did -- and though she hung up the phone, it was somehow comforting to me to attempt to talk to her. I can't imagine what she must've thought, now looking back. --blush-- but I was looking for answers I never received. <3 love. Thank you, Lanita & Ouida — and Keri, too –

And, Ouida, I really don’t know if we can possibly understand or imagine how we’ll respond in such a case.

Last year I dealt with a mother who acted like my childhood never happened and briefly it paralyzed me. I kept asking myself if I was crazy. It sent me into a state that I hope not to revisit again. God is good though. He comforted me, as well as using my husband to comfort me, with His promises to His children. I have often thought how will I react when I learn of my mother and father's passing. I think I will grieve. My husband thinks it will bring on a whole different pain. I sure hope not. Not much can pass the abuse and then the recovery process which is ongoing to be sure. I like to think that in death there will be closure but I am not sure. Only God knows. There is a knowing that when this life is over that all pain will be over. Thank God for Salvation through Jesus Christ. I have a great hope for eternity. Ouida Gabriel A timely post Mrs. Spurling.

You are such a blessing. I am sure you have blessed more people than you will ever know. God is so good to let me cross paths with you. May He continue to strengthen and grow you in your walk with Him. <3 May God continue to use you to encourage others, but may we also be an encouragement to you. You are such a blessing.

I thought maybe you would be comparing him the day we all met him face to face to know or...I don't really know. So, just so you know, if you need to do Compare-a-titus part two there is away to do it :) When I first saw the title to your post I assumed you were talking about my Titus, though I really had no clue what kind of comparison you were doing.

Thank you for your encouraging letter. How good and gracious the Lord is to you --- and I'm thinking, to us all... to carry us past our sinful selves and to work faith and trust in us! Thank you for your testimony of God's faithfulness -- see, He is doing a new thing! And, He is! only faithful. O, that we would all echo your sentiment: "I am willing to learn. I am willing!" I am so inspired by that! It's only by His grace that we move past the past and instead of repeating it! God bless you more and more! with love, pamela Jerene — (beautiful name!)
