There are mornings that I wake up numb too and ask God "What exactly is the point?' He tells me that I am here to serve. So, I serve. Or at least try.
I have had my fill of pain and anguish. I will say a prayer for the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide you on your walk. Sometimes it can be a lonely journey for sure.
Been a while since I posted anything and just snuck in here to take a look today. I am Tourist's wife and want to share the reason I hate smoking so much.
I found my mother dead at the age of 8 she was only 42 years old and had a massive heart attack. The doctor had told her Rachel if you don't stop smoking you are not going to be able to raise that little girl, she didn't listen. At 8 I couldn't understand why mommy wouldn't move when I tried to wake her and ran to my dad's room saying daddy mommy won't move. I was so scared and crying.
Four years later my father died with lung cancer again the cause was smoking.
My uncle Bob died from a lung bursting, cause smoking.
My brother Bill died the same way mom died massive heart attack mostly caused by smoking the tragedy here is he was only 39.
There are more, but you can see that people I love have been taken from me by their choice of smoking and I just don't want to loose anyone else I love to that filthy habit, because it KILLS. I have cried too many tears over the loss of my loved ones to a cigarette.

That is rough to hear that.
Yea smoking kills. But I've walked a busy road when I didn't have a car, and there's.a possibilty that I'll have lung cancer from breathing in car fumes. Oh and theirs a crematorium just up the road. So who knows what I've been breathing when I go outside.
My confession is, after losing so many church members to cancer, is that I hate going to funerals. I hate that nowadays people are burned up instead of buried, because there is no more room in the graveyards or they are too expensive.
When my mum died and family members planned her funeral, I had to pretend to be happy. I saw her body go into the furnace. She didn't care as her spirit had left by the time her body gave up, but it was still traumatic to witness. I was given no choice, I had to attend. I am sad.
We have her ashes, well, my brothers/sister have them. But to me they are nothing but dust and we haven't buried them.
