Amen, Bo! When I was at the "bottom of the barrel," Someone reached down and gave me Hope. That's was all I needed to get started on the journey I am still on. But, I have run into many bumps along the way, and just recently got through some tough times through a relative of my dh, who moved in with us. They are gone now, we had to use tough love, but they are where I was, with no hope. And she refused the Word I gave to her. It is something only Heavenly Father can give, and I pray that as she begins to see that, she will turn around and run the other way, into Father's arms.
Thanx for that comforting word.
