Heaven is all I think about too. Things I thought were important before really aren't important at all. You and your family will be in my prayers daily and we will also be praying for your four year old. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />Jody Abernathy<br />www.kjabernathy.blogspot.comJodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854657369730255305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-8211294425658522482009-04-16T10:39:00.000-07:002009-04-16T10:39:00.000-07:00You are a truly amazing woman with a witness that ...You are a truly amazing woman with a witness that surely pleases God.

I think we all get caught up in this world without remembering what the Big Picture is and without remembering that this World is not our home we are just a passing through. <br /><br />I used to sing that song all the time in Sunday School but had forgotten about it until now :)A day in the Life...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04251121552675894226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-30121670048408185962009-04-14T14:32:00.000-07:002009-04-14T14:32:00.000-07:00I found your blog.

I agree its something that many people "know" but it's one thing to know it and another to internalize it and shift your hope to something bigger and greater and eternal! I hope I get there someday, too.Jess(ica)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06943364119066249439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-12012168516877022332009-04-13T08:56:00.000-07:002009-04-13T08:56:00.000-07:00Thank you Leslie for an absolutely beautiful post....Thank you Leslie for an absolutely beautiful post. I have felt the same thing for a very long time; this world is not my home. Pain has a way of kneading that truth into your life.<BR/><BR/>And, only God knows the <I>particular</I> pain necessary to make each of us aware of this truth. I've lived long enough to see that <I>all</I> of His children must embrace this truth: some sooner, some later.<BR/><BR/>A portion of Scripture I cling to:<BR/><BR/>"Have pity on me, have pity on me, <BR/>O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me!<BR/><BR/>Why do you persecute me as God does,<BR/>And are not satisfied with my flesh?<BR/><BR/>Oh, that my words were written!<BR/>Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!<BR/><BR/>That they were engraved on a rock<BR/>With an iron pen and lead, forever!<BR/><BR/><B>For I know that my Redeemer lives,<BR/>And He shall stand at last on the earth;</B><BR/><BR/>And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, <BR/>That in my flesh I shall see God" <BR/><I>Job 19:21-26</I><BR/><BR/>God hold you very close, dear mother.not2brightGRAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546997993475013394noreply@blogger.com
