Wishing a good weekend to all my friends here on CFJS!
Been down all week with a chest cold, in spite of temps of 39-40ºC, and now I've been handed a situation that is totally unnecessary, but I'm expected to deal with it...and I really don't feel up to it. I'll take any prayers that are going; I really need the Lord to undertake for me.
Thank you so much, my friend. Prayer is the gold coin of Heaven, and one of the few things that make you rich when you give it away.

Hi orinoco, sending prayers for you, for your recovery to strength, & good health. Once you are feeling better, it will be easier to deal with anything that has been thrown your way.

Prayers from Missouri! I've often wondered how people "make it" without prayer!

Hi orinoco, I know exactly how you feel as I am trying to handle something with grace and love that I never thought I would have to handle. So prayers for your situation and relief from your chest cold. Hugs.

Thank you trynfindit - God loves me (and all of you) and never sends us more than we can bear, but sometimes I think He pushes the boundaries :( Hugs.

AS, he definitely has a greater opinion of what I can bear than I do, sometimes!! In fact most times.

Aussiesapphire, I agree that God sometimes pushes boundaries but then He has no boundaries. No matter where we think our boundaries lie, whatever God brings us to, He'll also bring us through. He will give us the strength to fight through whatever it is.

Aussie-hard part reminds me of our daughter's situations. I kept hearing you in my mind--do not enable! She asked me for $1, 500 in cash. I told her I didn't feel comfortable. So she seems to be getting her head together--finding a job etc. I know this is not the end of this game--but I took her to rehab--maybe some info is sinking in. As for myself, I am joining Al-anon ti help me learn more about addiction & how to deal w/ requests 4 $$, without guilt on my part. God bless both of us as we handle our family issues. I know both of us can learn not to feel depressed w/God's help. I also pray for my grandsons b/c nobody is telling them the truth & I am not allowed to see them.

Thanks BayGrannie, it is the accusations and lies I find hard to deal with. The emails are very nasty, but have blocked them. Prayer is the only answer. Take care and God bless. Hugs.

True Aussie, the "going through" part is very hard. I'm going through some things at the moment too that seem as though I've been "going through" for way too long but I know I have to trust God's timing. It doesn't make it any easier, of course.

Hello Aussie--that's funny--my "darling" called me a blatant liar the other day, left her kids behind, said her ex beat her up & when I asked if she called police--she said no. Keep in mind she lives about 6 blocks away from us & we gladly would have taken her to police in case she was scared. Instead, she walked 2 towns over in her "shorts" & a hoodie. (late at night, of course) What a message! Oh well, wiill say my prayers & try to find my solar eclipse glasses That should be fun, I last used them 2 yrs ago & also have to remember to keep the dogs inside with shades pulled down. Thanks, my buddy, many hugs & blessings.

Hi Nadine and BayGrannie, all drug related of course and at almost 44, she has been using since she was about 14. I know that God can change her heart, but she has to be open to changing and at the moment that is not happening. However, she cannot stop me from praying for her and I know prayer changes things. Hugs to you both and hope you enjoyed the eclipse. They showed the path over the US that it would be taking on our news last night. Hugs.

I'm dealing with a situation as well that I don't want to deal with. Ugh! Hubby makes it worse - at the time I was in too much pain otherwise I would have immediately caught on to the situation.

Carol, sorry you're facing something so unpleasant. You have my prayers.
I have four scissors in my kitchen drawer and NONE of them are sharp. Please Santa bring me a decent pair....or I'll take a nice, handsome, rich, good looking guy...you get the idea.
Been down all week with a chest cold, in spite of temps of 39-40ºC, and now I've been handed a situation that is totally unnecessary, but I'm expected to deal with it...and I really don't feel up to it. I'll take any prayers that are going; I really need the Lord to undertake for me.
