Sadness, even at this beautiful time of year

December 8th 2011

I have nothing to say today.  I am knitting a lot …..  also praying for my childhood friend, from pre-school, who was to be a grandma today, but the baby was lost.  Why did God want this baby in heaven?

He will neither fail you nor abandon you.’ When you are heartbroken: Psalm 147:3 NLT: ‘He heals the broken hearted and bandages their wounds.’ Psalm 23:4 NLT: ‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me… (TAKEN FROM  “I AM A CHRISTIAN”  blog – )
