Reading this shows me how amazing of a human being you truly are. I am sure they had their reasons for doing what they did. It’s wonderful that you have come to peace with that. Also that you appreciate all that you have. They missed out on having a wonderful person in their lives. Merry Christmas to you as well, and here’s to you getting healthy 🥰🥰🥰🥰💪🙏🙏🙏🙏😘❤️❤️❤️

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Merry Christmas Ruthe!!! Hugs.

Thank you for sharing this part of you with us. I can appreciate your gratitude and acceptance through your faith. Those time I struggled with the nature of my circumstances I held onto a concept that was offered to me. I don't always get to know the "why" of the events in my life. I have to beleive that God has a plan and I get to play the role he assigns to the best of my ability. Occasionally the lessons are for me but often the lessons are for someone else that I am simple the vehicle to display his grace. Routinely I never get to see the impact to the other person. I wish you all the joy of this season.

Love this post. Sorry to hear what you’ve been through. Praise God for your spirit of choosing contentment and thankfulness.
“And we will never face life alone/ now that God has made Himself known / as Father and friend / with us till the end / Emmanuel!” Our God is with us—incredible!♥️

Praise the Lord that you were placed in a Christian home. You may never know what MIGHT have befallen you if you had not been. I can't imagine my 10-year-old grand daughter being separated from her family and sent to live with relatives she doesn't know. She already has a bit of an attitude, and I'm afraid something like that would harden her irreparably. I thank God for His grace in your life!

love this story. how you glorify the Father with it. the why screws me up. but when you understand the who it makes it all better. graham cooke says the devil was created to serve God and that's never changed. powerful statement. and when I think about the word saying that everything he's trying to destroy us with God turns around for good it makes sense. thank you for sharing. I appreciate this so much.
