I see great progress in you just from your words that I read in your posts. I used to see my mother go through this type of treatment sometimes from her mother, my grandmother. I never understood why my grandmother was so hard on her in that way. It hurt me to watch her go through that kind of pain. The thing is, I loved both of them very much and could watch from a different perspective. It was a lesson I learned from watching that made me more than ever want to make sure my children were raised with encouragement and love and that I vocalized often by telling them how much I loved them. I'm sure what you've gone through has given you greater insight in how you want to help and encourage others.<br /><br />Today is Easter. I hope it has been a blessing for you instead of discouraging. You are a blessing to me.<br /><br />Lee AnnLeeAnn@Encouragement Is Contagioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115472068334541489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-3866641916995078822010-04-04T19:33:55.609-04:002010-04-04T19:33:55.609-04:00Hey JBR,
I read this with my daughter last night, ...Hey JBR,<br />I read this with my daughter last night, Romans 14:5. 'One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.'<br /><br />I do not feel bad if I miss an Easter or Christmas service, since I celebrate Christ's birth, death and resurrection every day. <br /><br />I've been recovering from a neck injury, and had such a bad sleeps on Wed/Thurs nights that my family stayed home on Friday, and to celebrate Easter we shared communion together. It was wonderful.<br /><br />JBR, your heart is right before God and you should never feel bad if you missed a service. <br /><br />Have a blessed Easter however you chose to celebrate it.Peter Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896115247438514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-22919516744192213842010-04-04T18:50:43.183-04:002010-04-04T18:50:43.183-04:00praying for you JBR...hope your Easter has been go...praying for you JBR...hope your Easter has been good...praying for your mother to lose her voice. ☺Nikki (Sarah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13731200601840020130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-85012475918080084152010-04-04T17:53:34.569-04:002010-04-04T17:53:34.569-04:00I will keep you in my prayers.

Although I was only a child back then, I saw some things that affected me to this day.<br /><br />My home was not happy. I was the youngest of three. Two older sisters. Rumor has it my parents were really never married. I remember constant fighting among them and drinking parties. I saw all the chaos surrounding me. Got me curious later in life and I turned to drugs and took a bad road. Did many things I'm am ashamed to admit to this day.<br /><br />Through my recovery many years ago, I came to know Christ.<br /><br />Keep going strong. You have a mind of your own. In time God will break through to your heart where he'll be able to fix you.<br /><br />Jock SpearsJock Spearsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-31246461367751876352010-04-02T06:09:20.809-04:002010-04-02T06:09:20.809-04:00Hang in there JBR.

Just remember to lift your mom up in prayer daily and ask God's guidance in all things you do each and every day. Some days are easier. <br /><br />If you can, you should try and get to service on Sunday. We should all try and remember the ultimate gift that was paid and the sacrifice offered so we could live eternally when this life is over. <br /><br />Hope you stop by as I am hosting weekly giveaways now on my blog. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-934628909128629842010-04-01T17:22:46.925-04:002010-04-01T17:22:46.925-04:00Hoping she gets the idea.Hoping she gets the idea.Wanda's Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823654163692296686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-83109611013510346982010-04-01T17:14:43.869-04:002010-04-01T17:14:43.869-04:00I truly believe churches are really places for Chr...I truly believe churches are really places for Christians to commune and worship together, and hopefully learn from one another.

Emotional baggage is a tough one, but HE gets that, and sometimes it helps to know that we don't have to 'explain' our answers in detail. The truth of your heart will stand up as you answer quietly. It may not make everyone happy, but that's ok too. In time, people will accept your yes and your no.<br /><br />Just stay steady...
