Like Fran, I want to compliment you for your powerful line, "Even if the residue of my life is only this moment, how blessed I am!” That is an amazingly humble thought that is filled with gratitude. I always say that life is fragile and uncertain so your family's faith is a tribute to the bounty of the Lord's blessings. May you continue to grow in health and grace. Thank you for sharing your story in verse.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-69019699124886039122020-08-07T17:29:53.816-07:002020-08-07T17:29:53.816-07:00Ruth....this, all of it will stay with me.

What a gift he is. Grace in action. This line of your verse particularly caught me: "Even if the residue of my life is only this moment, how blessed I am!” How well we should all do to remember that... continued healing to you and thank you (and your boy) for blessing us this day.<br /><br />-FranFran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-36360853339897085082020-08-06T06:48:22.924-07:002020-08-06T06:48:22.924-07:00Such a poignant post, and so much blessing.
