Looking through some old photos
and
trying so very hard to count my blessings.
We just celebrated 43 years of marriage . . .
I love this man with all my heart.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Prayer is all that's holding me
together, some days.
I don't want to sound pathetic,
but my soul is aching in a way
that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
God bless you all
and
thank you for your blogging friendship,
love and prayers.
They mean everything.
Connie

ReplyDeleteHi Connie. I'm thinking of you dear friend and praying for you and your hubby. hugs, Thelma.
ReplyDeleteYou are often in my thoughts and prayers, Connie and Steve. I read this prayer recently and thought of you:
ReplyDeleteEvening comes when You call,
and all nature listens to You
because You hold it all.
And now You hold me.
Blessed are You, O Lord our God,
King of the universe!
At Your word night falls.
In Your wisdom You open heaven's gates.
You set the stars in the vault of heaven.
You created night and day.
Blessed are You, O Lord,
at whose word night falls.
All nature listens to You,
because You hold it all,
and now You hold me.
from the Talmud and a song by Annie Herring and Matthew Ward
Hugs and prayers....
Oh, Connie, I've somehow missed your last few posts. So sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

My heart is breaking for both of you, Connie. I don't know if this helps, but I think of you all the time and do indeed still keep both of you in my prayers. xoxo
ReplyDeleteGod is for you not against you. It sounds like you know that very well, so I am not sure why I felt like I should write it. Maybe it just a little reminder. He is for you. And He can do anything.
ReplyDeletePraying for you right now.
A very happy anniversary to you both! What precious pictures. May God fulfill the longings of your soul.
ReplyDeleteYou and Steve are in my thoughts and my prayers. May God give you strength as you go through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteOh Connie - I'm so sorry! I'm glad you have such a wonderful hubby and have been blessed with all those years together. You remain on my prayer list.
ReplyDeleteI am sending positive thoughts to you and Steve. Congratulations on your long marriage. That is a wonderful accomplishment. Be strong together.
ReplyDeleteBelated Anniversary wishes. You and Steve remain in my prayers, sending you a hug too.
ReplyDeleteHi Connie- I've been thinking about you guys for weeks now- hoping, wishing and praying that you and Steve will be OK and continue on with the lovely country life you've shared all these past 43 years together. My Chris and I have been together for 42 years- so we're not far behind you. This'l make you laugh...Chris picked me up at Leumeah Inn all those years ago back in 1977- and Chris invited me to share her 'Flat' at Campbelltown -and I moved in the next night and we've been together ever since! We're complete opposites- and as they say: 'opposites attract'. Love and Best Wishes. KEV. (AUSTRALIA).
ReplyDeletePrayers for comfort for you both.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! In time like these....take a week and just Praise & Worship God....with all your heart all day long. Ask Him for nothing...just Praise Him. He already knows both of your needs and He has heard your prayers. It's time to Trust Him and Worship Him! God lives in the Praises of His people. When the Praises goes up the blessings will come down. Praises will also send the enemy packing. It works give it a try.... Praying for you both, ((((HUGS)))) sweet friend!!
