My heart aches for you and all of you...Dear Bonnie,<br />My heart aches for you and all of your family, and his, as you morn the loss of your brother. I can only imagine the depth of your grief. The way you compared it to waves from the ocean washing over you, gave me a better sense of how you feel. <br />My Mom called me Sunday night to tell me the news about Steve. Immediately I came to your blog, and I cried as I read your words. You are so gifted when it comes to writing. Your words are a comfort to read, even through my tears. Your faithfulness to God is an inspiration to me! <br />I wish I had some words to comfort you........you know that you are loved, and leaning on the Lord, and those people that surround you will bring you peace.<br />my love and prayers always,<br />PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897469252252084716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773940684631087673.post-10276392855686328202009-06-25T04:38:43.430-04:002009-06-25T04:38:43.430-04:00Our church prayed for you tonight and for your Mom...Our church prayed for you tonight and for your Mom and for Amy and those precious boys. My heart aches for you too! Your words are fantastic and it makes me smile to think that 500 people heard those encouraging words and saw you pointing people upward to our Heavenly Father. May He wrap you up in His love and may you physically and emotionally feel it!!!<br /><br />Much love and prayers,<br />The wagon circled in on the NorthsideKristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352950324846075295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773940684631087673.post-73079420407128545852009-06-25T01:53:50.554-04:002009-06-25T01:53:50.554-04:00Oh sweet friend how my heart aches for you as I re...Oh sweet friend how my heart aches for you as I read your words. . . moments and memories of your lifetime as Steve's big sister.<br /><br />I love Steve's own advice to you . . .<br /><br />"Always, he would point out the "and do not lean on your own understanding" part. He pushed me to lean on my Heavenly Father. He set a tremendous example for me to follow and I did."<br /><br />I took a look at the word "lean" a bit this very week, and now I know it wasn't just for me. I love Proverbs 3:5-6, and the way that the Lord asks us to lean on Him . . .<br /><br />I also love a different picture of "leaning" that the Lord shared with me this week. This was the physical "leaning" of John against Jesus at the last supper. John 13:5 says, "Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, Lord, who is it?" <br /><br />KJV says, "He then lying on Jesus' breast . . .<br /><br />And the Message says, "One of the disciples, the one Jesus loved dearly, was reclining against him, his head on his shoulder."<br /><br />Lay your head on his shoulder Bonnie. He loves you dearly, I know you know that. Keep leaning on Him. Rest. Breathe. Cry on His shoulder. <br /><br />Oh how He loves you. . . <br /><br />Lifting you up,<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />TinaWaitingfaithfullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204254697123829209noreply@blogger.com
