I continue to press forward. I am gaining strength and the pain is getting better. An added gain is the few pounds I have also lost during the last few weeks of persistently walking and making my health a priority. I thank GOD for each of you and your prayers. The encouragement I gain from your comments and visits is a tremendous blessing. THANK YOU is simply not good enough. I praise GOD for each of you and what your friendships mean to me. GOD has truly blessed me through the blog world far beyond my wildest dreams.
PRAYER REQUEST: My husband, Doug's aunt died yesterday (Saturday) morning. She gracefully stepped into heaven from this life. She completed an 88 year and 10 month run in this world. This week will be filled with memories, fellowship, tears, and celebration as we mourn our loss and celebrate her entrance into heaven. She had twin sons, one a pastor. Her son, Donnie (pastor) will perform the funeral on Wednesday. Please pray extra grace and strength for him.
By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
Andrea

Andrea:
Please accept my condolences for the loss of Doug's aunt.
We have to take care of our health. I am trying to eat healthier. With my husband and my son, it doesn't always happen.
What good news this is to know that you are feeling much better - because you have chosen life...and taken the steps in that direction.
Dear friend, my condolences to you and your family over the death of your husband's aunt. She is alive and well now on the other side of eternity!
May God's comfort be real to you these days.
