Hi Diana, you/yours have been in my thoughts and prayers…am putting you on Sunday's prayer list.
Grace, you're welcome…hugs.
Hi Dori, God is faithful, gracious and merciful, isn't He. In a world gone mad, He is always love.
Hi Anita, Begg is good and so are all the others, imo. So many wise people from whom to learn.
Hi —, another brain cell just went to sleep. For the life of me, cannot remember your name over there at Down on the Farm and I humbly apologize. It's been a rough morning that was preceded by a rough week. Your prayers are most welcome and needed (no doubt in your mind, is there? -grin-).

WONDERFUL! HELPFUL! What a rich combination of sentences, who advise the right way! I have some intensive meditations about obedience to the Lord's will also especially in this time, so it fits perfect to my situation here and now.
Dear Sandra, have a good time carried by the always best and most wise will of the Lover! – – –
