Almost all of us invited many of those guests like fear, stress, frustration, and defeat. However, our God is gracious. I am happy that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for sharing this story.

I believe he is always walking by my side or carrying me. and yes, there's always been a light at the end of the tunnel if I look and follow it. Thanks for the review. Smiles, Carol
Comment from Dilettante junior
Dearest Carol,
I dont know how I missed this story. I am sorry. It is excellently told in your signature style. I believe this to be one of your best i have read yet. The message it exudes is truthful, pure, uplifting and hopeful. To find solace in spirituality, books, writing, music, art or nature is oft what a true artist does for no one understands the intrinsics of the artist better than himself/herself!
Bravo!
My best,
DJ

Good morning, DJ.. You are great for this old lady's ego and disposition. Thanks for putting a smile on my face as I start my day. You are so kind. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. Smiles, Carol

This story has an authentic ring to it. Either someone is a darn good writer or has 'gone through,' hell. But then even Mother Treraze and the Pope and every other Saintly person has problems. Hope this vote help you. Sincerely Mabaker.

Thank you - you are so kind and I hope I am both! sounds a little greedy though. I have faced many tragedies in life but I have been blessed as well. And writing is my passion so I pray I do it well. Thanks so much for your kindness. Smiles, Carol

You are welcome.
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Carol--my thoughts are with you. Indulge in that bountiful basket--you deserve it most of all. Best of luck with the surgery--as I write this you're probably in the midst of it. Hope to see you soon--keep us posted.
CONGRATS! (review updated)

"When two fond Hearts as one unite the yoke is easy and the burden light."
It is when we feel most alone that God provides a song, a memory, a glimmering candle in our world of darkness, a vision of hope, and the grace to unburden your heart, for he will dry every tear, calm every fear,
embrace you from afar--and I daresay anyone who is a true and faithful friend would be singing those songs right along with you!
How honestly you revealed your stalwart courage! Yet braver still, is to admit you've been troubled, worried, to offer us what each of us wants to return in kind:
As you've written, we, too, offer:
"...a basket of smiles, hugs, hearts filled with love, and many prayers sitting here waiting for you. Help yourself to as many as you need."
God answers prayers even before we've formed them in our hearts!
You are soaring! Surgery will be fine! You write and fill our hearts, true... But consider this--the gift of knowing YOU has come to each of your fans!
As long as we're finding inspiration in songs--- I've always been particular to "You've Got a Friend"== so here's a bit of it:
"Hey, ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend?
People can be so cold!
They'll hurt you,
And desert you...
They'll take your soul
If you let them-
Oh, but don't you let them!
You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am--
I'll come running
to see you again!
God will. I will. Your many wonderful friends here will...
Blessed Be!
Karenina

Karenina - That's another song I love too. Another beautiful connection we have made. I hope I am calmer and steadier so as not to lean on you so much. I have blessed with your friendship. Smiles, Carol

You are not leaning, silly woman! We are holding one another upright! (wink)---Karenina

Smiles and hugs as always, Carol

The same to you...times 1000!--Karenina

"God will see you through." Thank you for sharing your fears and struggles with us. But I am glad you were able to put it all in the hands of the Lord. I pray that the Lord will be with you through the surgery, and give you a speedy recovery.
