The One Thing I Wish I Could Remember....


If I had one wish, it would be this:

That I would always remember to love my neighbor as much as I love myself.

Wishing ain't gonna get me there, I suppose. 

Help me, Lord. I just can't do it on my own.

Hi Sheri,
Love your comments. The one thing I wish I could remember is to always trust God no matter what the circumstances. My 27 y.o. daughter passed away from cancer in 2004 & I've yet to get to that place. But I'm trying.
Thanks again for autographing the Tooth Fairy book for my granddaughter. She just got it for her bd. and her eyes lit up...she loves it.

Hey, you!

You're welcome. So glad your granddaughter liked it!

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I've been told that one of the hardest things to do in life is to bury a child. I've experienced miscarriage....but that loss doesn't hold a candle to yours.

The great thing about being a Christian, however, is that we're assured that we'll see our loved ones again.

Death, to us left behind, feels gut-wrenchingly terrible. But think of the joy your daughter is experiencing right now! ;-)

Trusting God is HARD, no doubt about it. Anyone who says they do it perfectly 24/7 is a big, fat liar. HA!

But you'll get there, because your heart aches to connect with the great and awesome and mind-blowing creator of this universe.

Sending a big hug your way!

Sheri
