IT's a blessing that you can have this time to spend together! God is so good! His ways are always perfect, even if they don't always look quite the way we think they should! "My ways are not your ways". (My paraphrase but you know what I mean)<br/><br/>God bless you both richly!<br/>Leilani<br/><br/>"For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand, I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He with-hold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee." Ps. 84:10-12<br/><br/>"Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name."Ps. 86:11 Hi Gretchen!

Great to hear from you and I’m soo glad to hear that Merrit is doing well! IT’s a blessing that you can have this time to spend together! God is so good! His ways are always perfect, even if they don’t always look quite the way we think they should! “My ways are not your ways”. (My paraphrase but you know what I mean)

God bless you both richly!

Its wonderful and encouraging to hear that you are learning to find contentment in God's perfect plan, even when its not what you'd planned or ever wanted. <br/>I'm also happy to hear Merritt is doing better. What a great opportunity for God to teach both of you patience, trust in Him, and to bring you both closer together as husband and wife.<br/>God bless!<br/><br/>~Katie Beautiful post Gretchen.

I’ve been away visiting friends and relatives for 10 days. It was quite a shock to hear what's going on in your lives when I got a chance to check my email and a couple of my favorite blogs (of which YLCF is one!). <br/><br/>So glad Merritt's life was spared. Glad he's recovering. Thankful to God for His mercy, for His grace every day, and the way He comes alongside of us in times of need through the presence of those He's placed in our lives. Sometimes we need a loving touch from someone, a hug, a meal brought in, whatever. I've heard it said that Christians are "God with skin on" and I believe that's true. <br/><br/>Will be praying for you and Merritt. <br/><br/>Love, <br/>Lois Gretchen,
