Yah like I said they keep telling me to prepare myself. I have tried but I just can't
It scares me even more b/c my aunt had cancer and I was there umm ya the day she passed away it was really scary like I was so scared I couldn't even say good bye

[John81 7,400]

Death can be very difficult to deal with, especially when it's someone we are very close with.

There really is no way to prepare, beyond asking the Lord to give you strength and help you through it, but emotionally, there is little you can do.

I pray the Lord will help you through this difficult time.

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

AMEN John81!

Please know Jessica, that I am praying for you too. May HE give you the strength and comfort you need each day.

[John81 7,400]

Thank God we can go to Him in prayer and know that He hears our prayers.

[GODsJOY 0]

Amen! Thank You God .

[John81 7,400]

Our Father, who art in heaven...

I absolutely love the fact we can call God our Father!

Praise God!!!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

No matter what we may be going through, or when we may be going through it, HE is always there for us!!
What more could we ask for....we are never alone!!!

[John81 7,400]

Amen! That has been such a comfort at various points in my life to know that the Lord is there even at the most seemingly loneliest of times.

[John81 7,400]

Oh where, oh where has our little Michelle gone? Oh where, oh where can she be? :mrgreen:

Michelle has been rather scarce around these parts of late.

Hi. Grandpa is still getting worse by the day
We had our annual Sports Banquet last night it was awesome!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

I believe Michelle has been and is a very busy girl now that she is back working, however, we can still encourage her to come out to play.... :wink:

We miss ya, Michelle....please stop in real soon!!! :mrgreen:

[John81 7,400]

It would be nice to at least hear from Michelle how her new job is going.

Jessica, I'm sorry for your grandpa but it's nice to know the Lord still has some bright spots in your life during this dark time.

:mrgreen: I knew I "heard" my name. :mrgreen:

My job right now is very temporary. The company is looking for a full-time receptionist, and that isn't my forté. I'm more of a back-office type of person -- working with spreadsheets, presentations, databases and word processors. Heavy phone work isn't something I go out of my way to find. But it's a job, it helps to pay the bills, and it gets me out of the house all day so I'm not tempted to eat junk. I don't think they'll keep me very much longer because they have to pay the agency and the agency pays me ($9.00 per hour). It's close to home, though, which I like. It takes me between 15-20 minutes to get there. I am becoming more comfortable and confident about answering the phone and paging people on the intercom system -- and the fact that I can have free frozen fruit slushes anytime I want doesn't hurt either. :mrgreen: I don't think I'll be there past this Friday, but that's OK with me. It's not what I want to do but it meets our needs for now. Anyway, that's what's going on with me these days.

:mrgreen:

Yummmmm.I love slushies
Plz pray for Grandpa I stayed home from school today because he is really really bad.

[John81 7,400]

Michelle, it's great to hear how you are doing.

Jessica, I'm very sorry for your grandpa. I do pray the Lord will grant you the comfort and strength you need at this time.

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Continuing in prayer for you and your family Jessica.... :(

[John81 7,400]

It cost $100.50 today for the dogs yearly vet trip! It cost $24 dollars just to walk through the door!

Oh, and gas prices are now well over $2.50 a gallon so it cost $28.00 to fill my car up today!

I'm thankful I can count upon the Lord to meet our needs because I don't know how they could be met any other way!

[LindaR 649]

Isn't that the truth, John!! I have a dental appt. coming up on April 6th--no dental insurance and my husband and I live on SS disability. The dental work I need done is going to cost $500--we are totally depending on God's provision because we see no other way of coming up with that money--and they require payment in 2 payments--half now and the other half three weeks later. No credit cards are accepted (we don't use them either).

[John81 7,400]

What is it with dentists and wanting their money so quick? Everything is just way to expensive these days!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Good afternoon everyone....

Isn't everything expensive nowadays.... It seems everytime you go to the grocery store, things have gone up there too! Inflation sure takes a bite out of the dollar.:mad:

[chev1958 20]

It does seem that way. Officially, the government announced today that wholesale prices dropped by 3 percent, but I can't tell it at our local supermarket. :roll:

[John81 7,400]

Maybe the wholesalers are getting a better deal but they sure aren't passing it on to us!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

In Canada the prices are even higher.... :freak:

Oh well, there's no sense complaining it's not likely to change... :(

[John81 7,400]

Actually, I think it will change...it'll get worse! :(

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

I believe you are correct John....... :(

[John81 7,400]

According to the Bible, things will get a lot worse.

Unless of course you fall for the belief that Christians will make things better and usher in paradise on earth so Jesus will return! :roll:

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

It is amazing what people will say to fit in with their ideals........sadly they forget, it is written!

[John81 7,400]

Sadly, some folks come up with their own ideas and then try and make the Scriptures fit them. :(

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

I must admit that I remember, those days of living in disbelief....
Praise GOD for HIS grace and mercy, upon me a worthless sinner.

[John81 7,400]

Yes, it's sad to think back and realize I was lost and didn't even realize it!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

All Believers were lost at one time, weren't they! And then there are those who do not realize that they are lost... There are several in my family that I continually pray for....they do not even realize the state they are in..... :cry:

Do they believe that their good works will get them into heaven? I'm in an online Bible study and we just finished studying chapter 21 of Revelation and how awesome heaven is going to be--words cannot truly describe its beauty. But chapter 20 ends with the reality that the lost will end up in the Lake of Fire and will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

My Dad won't discuss "religion". He simply says no one knows what's in another mans heart. He won't allow any further talk.

I pray for him daily.
