My family is walking through a difficult but necessary season of growth, and God's work within us does not stop even for sugar cookies and hot coco. I put on my "happy face" yet I can't help but want to grab people and shake them and say "Wake UP! Get busy!" Last year was the FIRST year I ever did Christmas cards, after promising myself since my son was born (he's 15 now!) that we would be a family who would send cards:) Now just one year after my first card success, I haven't had words to share what my family is going through (too private) but yet I couldn't just say "Merry Christmas" either...I am going to send copies of your "Christmas Towel" with cheap Christmas Towels I found last night from Target for a dollar. Thank you for Jesus in You Sherri Burgess. And thank you for your "words."

Someone told me not to long ago that I would actually one day be thankful for the hardship and struggle that I was experinceing because I would look back and see that it brought me closer to God. I agree that without God bringing us to that place of brokeness we wouldn't long for the life without all the darkness. I long for that day too. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045091401399321468.post-84021570346837896622012-12-06T05:12:02.968-08:002012-12-06T05:12:02.968-08:00Oh, how I stand in awe and see how only God can ta...Oh, how I stand in awe and see how only God can take something so heart wrenching as losing a child and turn it into something that shows all His wonder and glory! Your testimony is showing the world that God has a plan, that He is there in times of trouble, that He is sovereign and that we are to depend on Him! We will be victorious through Christ!

It truly speaks to my heart, and I can relate very well, as I too have a son in heaven. Ever since the day he joined the heavenly group, I too have no stronger desire than to leave this world and move to be with him and our savior. My life has been blessed with 5 beautiful grandchildren, 1of which was named Bronner, in memory of your son. I hope for more interaction with you on hear. thank you for sharing. debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045091401399321468.post-81785699217108703682012-12-05T18:38:14.770-08:002012-12-05T18:38:14.770-08:00Thank you for sharing your heart.

I think of you often and agree it is not fair that we are still in this "dark and depressed place' while our love ones are enjoying Heaven and the joy that is there. One day the pain, fears, and tears will be over. Can't wait.<br /><br />femullet3550Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
