thanks be to Him and many answered prayers both mine and yours and Gerda and SBJ so many others
Yes, do I feel more open to forgiveness and reconciliation and miracles? Yes
Yes, so many prayers for you from me, Gordie. I wish you could see the church where I have prayed for you and your W. It is the most beautiful place.
And all this time that you were doubting more than you had before, I kept thinking that God was working in His own timing. And I am so happy that indeed, He was!
Even now, your surrender, your patience, your loving when you are/were daily rejected -- that is all God working through you, and it is a reminder to me too. As you forgave, God allowed you to forgive yet more. Surrender, trust. Surrender, trust.
You know I even showed my father your note to/about my son and my father said, "I totally agree with Gordie. Wise man."
(I am actually wondering why he didn't yet say the same about DnJ's letter but I think it's because he is 91 and didn't scroll down the whole e-mail. Which is another reason why Gordie's sparse style worked well. DnJ and I tend to talk it all out a bit more : ) )
XO to Gordie, the bestest of the best.
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
