The capacity to grieve is almost lost in our culture. People use work, TV, drugs, alcohol, shopping, food binges, busyness, sexual escapades, unhealthy relationships, and even serving others at church - anything - to medicate the pain of life. Year after year we deny and avoid the difficulties and losses of life, the rejections and frustrations. When a loss enters our life we become angry with God and treat it as an alien invasion from outer space. We tend to numb -up then, instead of grace - up.
This is unbiblical and a denial of our common humanity. The God-like response to loss is neither spin nor a cover-up. Scripture teaches us to deal honestly and prayerfully with our losses and disappointments big and small, and all their accompanying confusing emotions. Why? Losses are indispensable if we are going to change and grow into the men and women God has called us to be.
Joe - I will pray that you can embrace your limitations, while at the same time embrace God's limitlessness for this is a healthy relationship with God..I will also pray for healing of past trauma's as well....May God richly bless you.

Good morning to you brother Deade 
Joe you are in my prayers. Anyone that God has allowed so much pain, He is preparing for a great work. Take comfort in that and these verses as exhortation: 1 Peter 4:12, 13 "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy."
Thank you slave for you prayers. Via con Dios as you tackle your workday. Hello darling huffel, how are you today?

It's Friday today - looking forward to the weekend - how are you doing? Settling in to your new home?
Hello, is anyone here. I came in to see everyone. I'm on vacation this week. Not really a "vacation" where I traveled or anything but a vacation from working. Whew, I was tired, time off was/is much needed. Did I say WHEW!
I washed my truck and it's back green again.
