Praying that you will continue to experience God's grace and presence as you go through all your tests and that you can rest in the trust you have that God is holding you in the palm of his hand.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696267700699612617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-7902405801007206682019-05-13T16:11:51.929-04:002019-05-13T16:11:51.929-04:00Elizabeth, it is always a blessing to see kindness...Elizabeth, it is always a blessing to see kindness in the everyday.

Your courage is admirable. We know almost nothing of how God works and His reasons for allowing different trials for different people, but I'm glad for all the stories showing us that He DOES do wondrous things all the time.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-42907615144192694792019-05-12T16:38:57.728-04:002019-05-12T16:38:57.728-04:00I have had that same eye test many times myself; i...I have had that same eye test many times myself; it is easy to get flustered during it and to feel as if one has done it wrong. Please rest assured that the doctors take that into account when reading the results and that is also why this one test isn't the stand-alone for diagnosing serious eye issues. My prayers are with you on this journey; I know first hand what it is like to wonder about a diagnosis and then receive one that puts vision loss not as a possibility but as a fact. Thankfully my own vision loss is being held at bay (by God's grace!), but there will come a point when the treatment being used won't work. Grace and peace to you; hold tight to Jesus!chicory cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768284223626614021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-26717104566631315832019-05-12T15:22:51.222-04:002019-05-12T15:22:51.222-04:00Thank you for sharing all these experiences from y...Thank you for sharing all these experiences from your day. It's wonderful how you tied that EG story to your own thoughts and issues, and I agree wholeheartedly! I love the music too, though I've long ago forgotten my high school Latin, and am unfamiliar with the song/poem, but easily found a translation which link I share here for any who are interested: https://www.stabatmater.info/english-translation/Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-79629502140307247282019-05-11T22:17:01.339-04:002019-05-11T22:17:01.339-04:00Your faith is so strong and your determination to ...Your faith is so strong and your determination to be in God's will is wonderful to behold. I'm glad you saw kindness and people praying in a public place. So great.<br />Also wanted to say I was blessed listening to Stabat Mater by Jerycho and will go to youtube to listen to more of their music.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-43591458260686238532019-05-11T22:08:23.373-04:002019-05-11T22:08:23.373-04:00Very moving to see the men praying.

It's good to know such kindness still exists in the world. I like the diner's motto: It's what we all like to eat. :)<br />I agree with you so strongly in your attitude about the results of your eye tests. Clinging to God no matter what, and wanting His will above our own is the only way to have victory over the hardships that would otherwise overwhelm us. Prayers are going up for you, sister in the faith! :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-73054718334375679832019-05-11T09:24:25.652-04:002019-05-11T09:24:25.652-04:00The little courtesies we show one another are so i...The little courtesies we show one another are so important. I liked the story of the staff in the restaurant very much. You've had to expend so much energy in the testing for your eyes -- I'm glad there's only one more left. Then, perhaps, you can feel more confident about the way forward.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.com
