Blessings of Blessings
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
Yes, most definitely will we be praying and even now do so, for the Lord of all comfort is always there for each one of us, and so often extends His hands through members of His Body, fellow believers and saints... and just as any of us would also seek after and accept comfort from the Lord in such times as these that our sisters face each day, we ought also to pray the more for our precious family members in Christ Jesus the Lord.
Bless you ....><>

the following is from the writings of C. Spurgeon....
Why go I mourning?
Psalm 42:9
Canst thou answer this, believer?
Canst thou find any reason why thou art so often mourning instead of rejoicing?
Why yield to gloomy anticipations?
Who told thee that the night would never end in day?
Who told thee that the sea of circumstances would ebb out till there should be nothing left but long leagues of the mud of horrible poverty?
Who told thee that the winter of thy discontent would proceed from frost to frost, from snow, and ice, and hail, to deeper snow, and yet more heavy tempest of despair?
Knowest thou not that day follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that spring and summer succeed winter? Hope thou then!
Hope thou ever!
For God fails thee not.
Dost thou not know that thy God loves thee in the midst of all this?
Mountains, when in darkness hidden, are as real as in day, and God’s love is as true to thee now as it was in thy brightest moments. No father chastens always: thy Lord hates the rod as much as thou dost; he only cares to use it for that reason which should make thee willing to receive it, namely, that it works thy lasting good. Thou shalt yet climb Jacob’s ladder with the angels, and behold him who sits at the top of it-thy covenant God.
Thou shalt yet, amidst the splendours of eternity, forget the trials of time, or only remember them to bless the God who led thee through them, and wrought thy lasting good by them.
Come, sing in the midst of tribulation. Rejoice even while passing through the furnace. Make the wilderness to blossom like the rose! Cause the desert to ring with thine exulting joys, for these light afflictions will soon be over, and then “for ever with the Lord,” thy bliss shall never wane.
“Faint not nor fear, his arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe and thou shalt see,
That Christ is all in all to thee.”

Sisters... may I encourage you this day.. if it be any consolation... that the blessings received are specially carved out for thee... and such blessings of comfort are only prepared and given to such as thee... for the world in their cares do not know the pain you have so far endured, they have no need for heavenly comfort to ease their unburdened hearts, afire with grief and questions too hard for any man to answer...
no, the world can not taste the divine fruit of comfort set aside at the table for cherished souls such as thee
Look up my sisters.
The Lord, He cometh upon the clouds in splendour bright
and with Him He carries hope for you to cast away the night,
that would swallow any mere mortal in grief,
but you my sisters He blesses with belief..
in He who first died one day..
who cometh to carry your mourning away.
Bless you Momma Bear and baby bears, Kari & Deedra. You are blessed and I shall be praying for you all with love in Christ Jesus who loves you so ....><>
