Like you, I know that this life is not meaningless, that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us as His children and watches over us, along with many angels, and answers our prayers in the best way possible. What many blessings have come to you and your wife in her fight against cancer. Judging from your description about the seriousness of its spread to your dear wife, it appears miraculous that she has recovered and is even feeling better. May this year bring joy and peace to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your feelings in this beautiful Christmas message.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-22749243534652433142013-01-03T00:11:17.183+00:002013-01-03T00:11:17.183+00:00*sail!

He, of all men, was most significant and it is proven by the fact that we talk about him all these years later on the blogosphere! Eddie you crossed my mind earlier today when I was blogging and got distracted by the kids and didn't get to stop by so I was very pleased that you came by to comment at mine! Yes that Sunday Roast was soooo fun and I'm going to share it on my facebook for old times sake! So sorry to hear about the missus..such a hard road..I'll toss my most significant prayers/healing vibes/good wishes to the east..I'm a little closer now having moved to Newfoundland so they can sale across to your land quite unimpeded!

Rest assured, I said a prayer.<br /><br />I've never understood how anyone can accept the premise that nothing somehow mutated to become something. While God's existence from eternity to eternity is not something we can ever fully grasp, it seems to me to be much more sensible than throwing our hands up into the air and saying everything just happened - boom.<br /><br />Happy Christmas, sir!Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-90338159713086389122012-12-20T14:28:40.210+00:002012-12-20T14:28:40.210+00:00Eddie, I'm sorry your wife has been through su...Eddie, I'm sorry your wife has been through such pain and difficulty lately but so glad to hear that there is improvement.

That would be dreadful if that was all there was to it.<br /><br />Yes..... I remember how mum was that day before she died and also the day before when I went to see her and she was so happy looking at the photos of the family after months of sadness. It was the last day I really engaged with her.

I pray for health and restoration to her entire body. I'm so glad you have such tremendous prayer support, and she is so blessed to have you by her side.<br /><br />I knew that Twain was an agnostic, and I have often thought the same thing. How can anyone who wrote so beautifully and had such insight into the human mind be so lost??? I don't get it either. <br /><br />On a cheerier note, I wish every blessing of this Holy Season to you and yours and a healthy, happy, prosperous 2013 to come!<br /><br />Rule Britania!

You ARE family...we belong to the King...our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.<br />I, too, long for the return of our Lord. But until then, we will be about our Father's business: Exalting the Savior, Equipping the Saints, and Evangelizing the world. <br />Again, let me reiterate how wonderful it is to hear from you. We here in Blogland miss you, but I know where your time needs to be spent 1right now, and that is with dear Maria. I hope that your daughter and son are doing well.
