I'm keeping you in prayer, my dear! Your strong faith has been an inspiration to me, and it comforts me that you have sure knowledge of where you are going one day! In the meantime, my prayer is that your joy remains unabated, in spite of the trials you are currently going through.
Have no fears, my joys run unabated. I am reminded of I believe it was Pippin and Gandalf together in Minas Tirith when they sat together when Hope seem lost and Gandalf told Pippen that this was only the beginning of a new adventure. It bothers me so much that I can't remember things well anymore! It has bothered me all night that I can't remember the exact quote nor find it but I'm sure you know the one of which I speak, passing on from this life to a new one but not even to the one the Elves spoke of but a new one for all peoples. It makes me so happy to think of us moving on from a body clothing a spirit and soul to his soul and spirit being clothed by the body. We are so close!
I used the book conversation in HL three so I am very glad to find the movie version and know nowit is the movie version! Thank you. That is a treat. And you are right - the point is that the best is yet to come.
My vision is so bad I might've spent another two hours looking for that, so I think you indeed!
Oh, Carol. *HUUUUGS* As hard as it will be for us to learn of your home-going when the time comes, we won't mourn as those who have no hope, and I know your healing will be complete then. In the meantime, like Lin, I'm praying for peace and joy and for those around you to be drawn to the beauty of Christ even in the midst of your suffering.
It is so hard to explain to anyone how it will be that we will be complete when we are gone from this form and place! I so want to be part of the body complete.
I have grown to love and admire you over the years, and thank you many times for the gift of this update, and all updates that keep your friends close to you in heart, mind, and spirit. May the Light and Music emanating from the West fill you -- and all of us, when our ships arrive there -- with joy and fulfillment. May whatever time is left, long or short, be pain-free and peaceful. My love also to your wonderful pets, and those who care for you.
Thanks Shirebbound. There is something about Tolkiens that draws all of us together onto a special Road and quest and I only hope leads us to a special landing where is special ship waits.
Carol, I woke up this morning thinking about you so strongly! I hope you're comfortable, and that your life is full of support and snuggly pets and peacefulness.
You will get the final post here. :-) I will send you something that is more updated than what you have and that you will be able to get the latest and greatest on that day I do get to go home. You know how much I love you - there are not words to express.
Your prayers are already answered, for I have both. I pray the same in return for my friends. I hope you find peace and happiness and joy and contentment, with or without better health. With better health is more comfortable but I have learned that without better health can lead to deeper contentment, as crazy as that may sound.
