Oh, the abundant and magnificent scent that must be arriving in our Maker's nostrils...How very pleased and honored he must feel in this beautiful place. <br />I continue to pray faithfully for you, my darling friend,<br />Lovingly, your sister in our Savior, Messiah and Lord,<br />Carolynn xoxoxo<br />I'm so happy you are traveling with your sweetheart and able to take in the beauty of Fall as you go. Prayers for safe travel for the two of you.Chenille Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431398899341721439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-81647013883459601582012-10-15T16:43:07.204-05:002012-10-15T16:43:07.204-05:00God's love made real in a holy, loving place. ...<br />God's love made real in a holy, loving place. <br />The perfect place to feel like God's holding you in His hand.<br />And He is.<br /><br /><br />Marion Williams-Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741729110133561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-34472781956022798272012-10-03T13:26:44.203-05:002012-10-03T13:26:44.203-05:00THIS is what I've been praying for and you cou...THIS is what I've been praying for and you couldn't have given a better quote: “When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” <br />― Edward Teller<br /><br />Thank you, dearest Vicky, and now I'm headed to today's post.....worried.

I continue to think of you each Tuesday as I know that is 'your' day to see your doctor.<br />Honestly, I think that the nurse should have been able to get your vein with the first stick; if not, I don't think it would be unkind to ask for someone else to draw the blood. I know that Mama had to have blood drawn each day for 10 days, and we learned who can draw it effortlessly, and who needs a little more practice. I, for one, don't want Mama to have to be stuck unnecessarily. I'm just saying that because I feel the same way about you. <br />I send you hugs and warm smiles, Vicky.<br />Love you,<br />J.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-90868535665718318712012-10-01T18:49:27.646-05:002012-10-01T18:49:27.646-05:00Vicky, I have to say, I was waiting with great ant...Vicky, I have to say, I was waiting with great anticipation to see how you would depict our adventure through your beautiful blog, and I was not disappointed. I loved it! And when I got to the part at the end, the light, I knew, without a doubt, as you knew then...that that was God reaching out to you. Some would have missed it, but you didn't. I delighted in that moment with you, yes, (de-LIGHT...what a perfect word in this case), but you spotted it. You called it. The clouds, perhaps were mine (you know how much I love them!). :) I am so happy we had this time together. And I'm glad you posted the bells. I will cherish this forever!Roxane B.

Especially, your account of the experience. <br /><br />Can I tell you, you gave me the courage to go get that darn mammogram I was overdue for. I've been hesitant because my mother has gone through breast cancer this year and now my risk is higher... the fear got the better of me for a while. Then as I read your courage again and again, I thought I had better just suck it up and go. And so I did. Thank you for sharing your story... and reminding us all what Grace looks like...Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.com
