To take away the frailness and to renew healing. I hope that this comment finds you doing better as well as your parents. I have had bronchitis since January with a flair up after our loss of Jordan. It lingers for months.<BR/><BR/>Your words are beautifully written and so inspirational. I came across 2 Corinthians 4:16 last night while reading a book on Grieving.

God is good, indeed, and I'm so thankful your mother's name is written in the Lamb's book of Life - halleluiah. ♥ <BR/><BR/>Thank you for 2 Cor. 4:16 - this verse means so much to me. I just loved reading this post, Denise...it reminded me of different times when the Lord has given me a revelation of His love - in the middle of a hospital when hubby was having an aneurysm repair, when my own parents were dying, through times of despair and uncertainty when He lifted my head (and heart) to "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." Oh yes, He knows what we need and I love it when He opens an unexpected window to heaven - what joy and comfort floods my soul. Praying for you and sending my love. What a blessing you are to me. {{hugs}}Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601718675860240867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-56363491864444332172009-03-19T20:22:00.000-05:002009-03-19T20:22:00.000-05:00Denise, I am sorry I have not commented on this po...Denise, I am sorry I have not commented on this post sooner. I don't know how I missed it. . . just read it tonight and I must say that I truly was touched. God does truly speak to our hearts sometimes in mysterious ways. He is so powerful and it is just wonderful to experience His touch. It is sad that we have to go through such painful times with our loved ones . . . but, God is always with us to give us just what we need, whether it be spiritual, physical or both . . . He supplies it. I am so thankful that I belong to Him.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you, my special friendShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102057104221890998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-64256877603118368182009-03-19T19:37:00.000-05:002009-03-19T19:37:00.000-05:00Thanking God for the way He is speaking to your he...Thanking God for the way He is speaking to your heart during this time.<BR/>Having recently walked through these times with Paw Paw I pray strength for your body and soul....and that you would daily feel the love and tenderness of His heart toward you and your family.Sharon Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662853880018410132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-27014437053215545282009-03-19T19:33:00.000-05:002009-03-19T19:33:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing what God blessed you with du...Thank you for sharing what God blessed you with during your trial.

My ...Denise, I do know about Sundowner's Syndrome. My mother in law had that for a brief time after being in rehab for some physical therapy. It is not uncommon in the elderly. My mother had it too briefly. As I read your words about your mom I was tearful. I lost my mom in September and I miss her terribly. I wanted to share an experience I had just the other day as I was driving home. I was listening to some southern gospel on a CD and the song "Find Us Faithful" started to play. When it got to the last verse the tears began to flow: "After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone, and our children sift through all we've left behind, may the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover become the light that leads to the road we each must find". My mother was such a faithful servant of the Lord and left behind treasures that I discovered going through her things. I praise God for a faithful mother AND dad. She died with Alzheimer's but with joy in her heart and a promise of heaven.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04913944323813779764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-14809056139698335312009-03-18T23:05:00.000-05:002009-03-18T23:05:00.000-05:00Denise,I have heard of "Sundowner's Syndrome," as ...Denise,<BR/><BR/>I have heard of "Sundowner's Syndrome," as I worked in a nursing home at one time. I'm not sure what your mother's doctor will say, but you may want to see if he/she will put her on 1,000 mg of Vitamin D. Many doctors prescribe it for those suffering from this disorder.<BR/><BR/>I continue to pray for your family. Be sure to rest when you can, my friend. This is a powerful post.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-2653750685750039692009-03-18T19:29:00.000-05:002009-03-18T19:29:00.000-05:00WOW what a moving and inspiring post, I loved it, ...WOW what a moving and inspiring post, I loved it, it also made tears come to my eyes, God Bless you and your family, I pray that your mom will be okay.
