Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 This was sent to me and Gale asked me to post it to the board: I'm so sorry, but we are going to cancel the San trip. My husband has congestive heart failure and is going downhill fast. We signed up for Hospice last Friday. I am remembering all the things God taught me when I lost my first husband to cancer 24 years ago. First, I asked for strength.. He reminded me that the Joy of the Lord is my strength, so in my grief, he has given me joy in my heart.. joy in who He is and that Glory awaits us all. Praise God. Second, I asked why, and He told me that I did not need to understand, just hold Jesus' hand. Yes, I felt all the pain, but more strongly I felt the presence of God. And when I asked Him to be near, He reminded me that God inhabits the Praises of His people and I began to Praise Him and thank Him for Who He is. I have reserved a handicap room at the Marriot and have not cancelled it yet. Does anyone want this room? I'm sure they have been booked up for quite a while and I would like our loss to be someone else's blessing. Just let me know and I'll try to see how we can co ordinate this. No, I have not paid for the room, just reserved it. If interested, contact Gale @ Gale17444@... I am tired, but physically holding my own (God at Work). Since I live near Houston, this trip was perfect for us-- I'm mostly a lurker, but I care so much for all of you and wanted to get to know you in person. The group means a lot to me.. I feel strengthened and blessed by the spirit of our " family " . Love and Blessings to All Gale in TX IPF 10/06 Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
