I just know that putting the words down helped, and hopefully will help others as they maybe go through these experiences in the future. Thanks again so much for your kind words.Mike Furches, The Virtual Pewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077448455425533255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112199480434339447.post-9201944127919404212009-06-29T18:57:21.655-06:002009-06-29T18:57:21.655-06:00Never have I read someones heartache and felt so m...Never have I read someones heartache and felt so moved. You may not understand all the whys or the anger (hate, as you lable it) now but you may as the healing time hugs you. My Mom is still alive but I identified with so many of your 'ramblings'. Her funeral is already arranged but not finallized. She is living her final years in a nursing home and slowly fading mentally. The day will come when I will be called upon to 'bury' another family member and I hope forgiveness and love will bouy me through. I'm saying a prayer for you Pastor Mike, right now...and prayer is a powerful thing. Forgiveness is possible when we humble ourselves. Me humble? Gee I thought I was the most humble of humble until I read a definition of pride: extreme self interest. I now ask God nearly everyday to forgive me of my pride. When I feel most alone, or have moments of "where's God" are during my heartbreaking moments when my focus is on my pain. Jesus is your Mom hugging you with a love that covers a multitude of sin. Jesus is you hugging your Mom with that love that covers a multitude of sin. You and your sister are not alone in all this. And I am so blessed by your openness in this heart heavy time of your life. God Bless Pastor Mike and all his loved ones.Sam's Thotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697299148704092445noreply@blogger.com
