I haven't commented before, but re...Hi Kristy-<br /><br />I haven't commented before, but read your blog often, and am amazed at your strength. Actually, no, I'm not amazed, because it's so easy to see where it comes from. Only God could have gotten you through the trials you and your family have faced, and He will continue to see you through everything that is to come. <br /><br />I cannot imagine the pain you must feel. And I wish there was something I could do or say to make things better. Please know that I'm praying for you and your sweet family - all the way from Texas!<br /><br />Love,<br />LauraLaura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701139472899714172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-44084364233245162812009-11-28T11:16:59.240-05:002009-11-28T11:16:59.240-05:00Your thankful heart is so beautiful, Kristy...and ...Your thankful heart is so beautiful, Kristy...and I'm<br />so thankful to have the<br />opportunity to come to "know"<br />you...your honesty in your<br />life struggles is so real...<br />something we all can learn from.<br />I believe that your blog does just that...serves as an example for so<br />many in this hurting world. It shows that with God's help, we can indeed keep running the race with endurance and that one day we'll receive our reward.

I'm not sure how losing a child feels (I'm only 19) but I do know how loss feels, I lost my Mom. We have our bad days and our good days, but we will always have our memories and those are the most important. Hang on to all of them, good and bad and remember with God you're stronger than you think.<br /><br />Hold your babies on Earth in your arms and those in heaven in your heart. Sounds like Ben is doing a good job taking care of you, he seems adorable.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499762320873780589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-32859485464756848552009-11-27T19:14:43.666-05:002009-11-27T19:14:43.666-05:00Thankful, here too, in all of our imperfections......Thankful, here too, in all of our imperfections...thankful, still...<br /><br />Praying that your family is feeling better soon...Kelly @ Sufficient Grace Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182310611088290551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-51951057882536615162009-11-27T16:41:14.475-05:002009-11-27T16:41:14.475-05:00That was beautiful, Kristy.

I remember when you...Oh I sure do love you Kristy. I remember when you started your blog and I followed because I wanted to learn how to try and understand and encourage you. Selfish I know, but your fear of the unknown gripped my heart and you won me over. Your honesty is such a refreshing breath of air, real and not sugar coated. I think of you as a daughter who lives far away, but right here in my heart. Your heart is more thankful than words can express here sweetie. I feel it when I read your words, and I am so thankful for you sharing your personal life with me. I love you and pray everyone is well. And I know for sure that Jesus loves you more than I ever could. How great is that? <br /><br />Love and Many Hugs, LaurieLaurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-15297434679402798212009-11-27T11:48:11.362-05:002009-11-27T11:48:11.362-05:00The holidays can be so hard- finding Levi's th...The holidays can be so hard- finding Levi's things unexpectedly would have sent my emotions whirling too- particularly during this time. I hope everyone recovers from the bug & your heavy heart lifts. <br />Peace & love to you!Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286068404893748428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-81609087055872167392009-11-27T11:31:13.923-05:002009-11-27T11:31:13.923-05:00Wow! I wish I could put into words what this post...Wow! I wish I could put into words what this post had done for me today. I too have struggled immensely this week. We learned of yet another health issue that may be plaguing Sam, it was the one year anniversary of my nephews death... It is so hard to be joyful in times of sorrow and sadness, it is hard to not get sucked back into those moments of grief that are so raw and gut wretching. <br /> But it is also so awe inspiring to feel the arms of our Lord around us as we experience those feelings. To know that He feels what we are feeling, that He understands and is there with us. God knows!!! I pray that He continues to carry each of us in this journey on this side of heaven. God bless, and thank you for this reminder:-)Mommato4miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650111958186979950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-59280542229059686092009-11-27T11:15:44.663-05:002009-11-27T11:15:44.663-05:00I struggled with thankfulness this year too.

There IS much to be thankful for. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your heart today.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394453146621467115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-91293687481771835032009-11-27T00:31:44.903-05:002009-11-27T00:31:44.903-05:00Your Ben sounds like such a sweet and caring boy.Your Ben sounds like such a sweet and caring boy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251956834955281101noreply@blogger.com
