First Morning...Home
Garvin resting...(without any INTERRUPTIONS)
smile
MY PERSPECTIVE...
Garvin will address...sometime...later...
"...whosoever shall put their trust in God
SHALL BE SUPPORTED in their TRIALS, and their TROUBLES,
and their AFFLICTIONS..."
Regarding...these past many days...I would like to address to
those of you...who have changed MY LIFE...and HUMBLED me in ways
I can not even begin to express...
Most of you would have never known the scenes that were taking place
in Garvin's and my life...had it not been for our INCREDIBLE
children...one who HACKED into my Facebook account and began
to unfold these past many months of our lives...a daughter, who
began a "fund" to help soften the blow of our
medical bills...and other children who kept passing the
word along to others...
I was and still am... beyond
not knowing how to react/act...to them "announcing" this to all of you...
nor how to react/act to all the OUTPOURING of ALL YOUR LOVE
and SUPPORT....It is incredibly "humbling"...and
has been very "emotional" for me...
We all can relate...to "challenging" times in our lives...
wondering how in the world we got into the mess...
Asking ourselves... is it because of "wrong and bad choices"...or
due to the "agency" of another...or simply a test that is to help us
grow and refine...into becoming the kind of person we were
sent here to become...
I KNOW we came to earth to GAIN EXPERIENCE...
especially, in areas one has never experienced before...
No matter how the "test" comes into our lives...
We wonder next...HOW will we ever get through this one...
WHAT are we to do...
WHAT are we to LEARN...
President Lorenzo Snow said:
"We are here that we may be EDUCATED in a school
of suffering and of fiery trials, which school was necessary
for Jesus, our elder brother, who the scriptures
tell us was made perfect through suffering. It is necesary
that we suffer in ALL THINGS that we may be
qualified and worthy to rule and govern all things, even
as our Father in Heaven and his eldest son, Jesus."
(Quoted in: "Charity Never Faileth" - By: Vaughn J. Featherstone, Pg. 74)
I KNOW NO OTHER WAY...than to drop to my KNEES...
to seek the WISDOM of our Eternal LOVING Father...
TRUST that He is MINDFUL of our situation...
FAITH...that somehow HE will LEAD us to SAFETY...HIS WAY...
I KNOW with ALL OF MY HEART...
ANSWERS and HELP COME through the HANDS
of others...in which YOU...were those "helping"
hands...
HOW DO I BEGIN TO THANK...EACH OF YOU......
who...have so GENEROUSLY
given from the heart... words and thoughts...
not to mention all the financial gifts...
that have poured in...in our behalf...
I don't know...except...YOU awakened up...
something DEEP INSIDE OF ME...
and my GRATITUDE can not be
adequately expressed!
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU!
I told Garvin...I pray...one day...
we can "pay it all forward"...
in some small way...
what EACH OF YOU have done for us this day...
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!
With all of my LOVE...to the BEST CHILDREN...
the BEST OF FRIENDS...
and with every deep meaning of the word...
BROTHER and SISTER...
THANK YOU!
Deb
