But with every ending there's at least one beginning, and the beginnings keep coming too, as many as we want. That's the whole thing about the resurrection - not to prove that "Jesus conquered death," because he already did that in raising others. And our ultimate home is not here in some "brought back from death" body anyhow. The resurrection is all about making us see that a wonderful beginning hides in every ending.<BR/>God's peace as you find beginnings - BradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-86346065205949152522009-01-16T09:15:00.000-08:002009-01-16T09:15:00.000-08:00As I let go of my father and wait for "the call" I...As I let go of my father and wait for "the call" I am preparing for my daughter to leave for college. The emails/phone calls have started from college of all the things we need to prepare for her arrival in late July/early August.<BR/><BR/>I realize that by the end of six months my father will be gone - my daughter will be away at school and my life will be very different.<BR/><BR/>I focus on letting go of any expectations that I may have. God has a plan for all of us - and I think He laughs when we make plans.<BR/><BR/>On a different note - thank all of you for our thoughts, prayers and good wishes for our family. People are amazing. A gal that I work with who I really don't know that well went out and bought my and my children groceries. Another mom made us a huge platter of pasta. It's always small things like this this turn into huge things to you when you are going through something like this. <BR/><BR/>You truly see Christ in others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
