Then 10 days before Christmas my oldest child try to take her life and had to be placed in the hospital. It is amazing how I even survived to keep Christmas going. I only had my small "Jesus" tree and prayed that my daughter would be able to be home for Christmas Day. She did and my precious parents were there for us again. Even in the midst of this horror, with another one lurking just around the corner -- my father-in-law passed away Jan 2., we remember the sweet memory of picking up my oldest and 7 of us squeezing into a booth made for 4 at a small Waffle House. It was the only place open. :) Also remember the kindness of those who worked with my husband sharing gifts to my children. ~ Beth ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-43288090727639668932013-10-03T10:51:27.303-04:002013-10-03T10:51:27.303-04:00Three years ago this coming Christmas my son's...Three years ago this coming Christmas my son's family from London were home from London. A week later on January 2, 2011 my husband passed away. My son's family are planning on coming again for the first time since Wayne's funeral. They are planning on staying 2 1/2 weeks starting Dec 15. Although I want to meet my youngest grandson and see them all, there are mixed emotions about that. How can I glorify God through all this? Good question. How can I glorify God while recovering from surgery and facing other issues? I guess trusting in the Lord and resting it with Him.

I was staying with one of my daughters at the time and don't remember much except that on Thanksgiving Day my #2 daughter told me she was pregnant with their 1st baby. The daughter I was living with did no put up a tree that Christmas and her children somehow understood and were okay with that.Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497455737717687678noreply@blogger.com
