Thank you for sharing this, Chery. As parents it is hard to “let go and let God.” We feel responsible. I think the more we let go the more God can work. I see that with our three sons. It is hard to trust God all the way! I am so a happy for the answered prayer! Thanks be to God! I am praying your grandson (2o-ish) will get help through Vocational Rehabilitation. If an applicant cannot work they direct as to “the next step.” More later. Thank you for continuing to read my writings. You are a blessed gift!

Thank you for this, Chery. Yes, the whole point of the first “blessed” (as I interpreted it) comes to those who find their significance in God. Whereas early experiences in life make a difference. I felt challenged as I most likely have needed to gain significance…being a middle child and always somewhat out of sync with Mom and mostly out of sync with Dad. I believe Dad loved me, just did not know how to let me know it. I had a struggle with God being “Father” for a share of my early life–and perhaps do not yet truly grasp the “Father” part of God. Jesus and the Holy Spirit feel intimately close, however. I am working on feeling close to “Father God.” Thank you for reading and particularly for writing.

Having said the above, I do know my ministry is a true call and all about helping those who hurt, desiring to win people to Christ . . . help them come to love Scripture finding it the guide of their lives.
