Remembering Cathy

January 23, 2006
I lost my friend

"There are times in every life when we feel hurt or alone. But I believe
that these times when we feel lost and all around us seems to be falling apart
are really bridges of growth. We struggle and try to recapture the security of
what was, but almost in spite of ourselves we emerge on the other side with a
new understanding, a new awareness, a new strength. It is almost as though we must go through the pain and the struggles in order to grow and reach new heights........Job said, "But he knowth the way that I take; when he hath
tested me I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held fast to his steps. His way have I kept and turned not aside' Job 23: 10-11 (copied)

Sweet memories of GOOD TIMES

I truly believe memories are God's gift to us in our healing and our ability to celebrate the ones we love that have moved on to that prize we all hope to achieve one day. I'm sorry that this day is probably a tough one for you but it's the day I became a mother for the first time 8 years ago. To everything there is a season.....
Love you.
