Knowing what you're going through, I was so happy this morning to see that you had paid me a visit at Delightful Repast. I think life has gotten more complicated for people in all age groups now, and that makes everything harder. We must constantly adjust our to-do lists. I hope you are taking as good care of yourself as you always do of others.

I just lost my dad, very unusual heartbreaking circumstances. I know how true it is...How life changes, things change and oh it can break our hearts at time I truly understand. Thank God for quiet times with our Father.<br /><br />I'm sorry you are leaving but maybe one day you will be back when you are ready and have time.<br /><br />Be blessed, be at Peace, God be with you!

As much as blogging is a part of us, there does come a time in each of our lives when we have things happen that God uses to gently draw us away from the blogging community. Caring for parents is a time-consuming job, but one that is ever so rewarding because it is God ordained. And for my husband and myself, we only wish we could have done more. You will remain in my prayers, as will your mother. May God richly bless you as you step out in obedience to Him. xoDiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562093136200114577.post-92224190394259022692018-01-08T16:54:28.751-07:002018-01-08T16:54:28.751-07:00Hello dear Debbie~

I am glad you are keeping your blog "live" so that should things change down the road, you can resume blogging again. Sometimes it is good to just let things lie for a while. You certainly have your hands full with taking care of your mother, along with your own health struggles. I just want you to know that your precious joy-filled words are such a blessing to my soul, even if you just have time for a short post, you really do share the love of Christ in all you do. You will certainly be in my prayers dear friend, what a tremendous blessing you have been in my life! Do lets keep in touch via email/cards and I will be praying for all these situations for you!

It is difficult sometimes to close doors in order to open other ones. In this case, caring for your mom, taking care of your own health, and all the other things going on in your life certainly take precedence. Blogging does take time away from "real life." But I will miss, and so many will miss, your encouraging words and wise counsel, and how you lovingly direct us to follow our Lord.<br />You can be sure I will keep in contact with you through email! The Lord bless you and keep you. Know that you are loved by many.<br />Love, DeborahDeborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562093136200114577.post-34661685204793556102018-01-02T19:26:13.402-07:002018-01-02T19:26:13.402-07:00Awe Debbie, wish I could give you a big hug!

There is much to be done for your Mom, and many needs to be met. We will always be friends, and I'm so very thankful that I was able to meet you and Stephanie in person! You have taught me and inspired me so much with your wisdom. My own dear little mother fell in her kitchen, and broke her right shoulder. I am flying to Ohio on Friday to help with her care. It's so sad to see parents go through so much, isn't it? <br />God bless you, Debbie, as you continue to follow God's special callings to you.

I will never cease praisin...Dear, precious friend! I will never cease praising God for you, for allowing our paths to cross, for sending you into my life when He knew I needed you most, for the blessing it is to me every time I see an email or a blog post from you, for the generous and beyond kind things you have done for my family and me, and for the true joy it is to know you and have your presence in my life. You are one of the sweetest, most giving, dear ladies I have ever "met". Somehow, I get the feeling that God will allow us to meet in person one day, but if He chooses not to do that, I know in my heart that one day we will meet together, at Jesus' feet, and we will worship Him together. What a day of rejoicing that will be! The kindness you have shown to me, time after time, will NEVER be forgotten by my family or by me...you are a living, breathing, shining example of what it means to love like Jesus loves. You are one of the most giving people I know, and I am so blessed to call you my friend. It is heartbreaking to me to know that there will be no more precious blog posts from you. I just feel so sad inside knowing this, but this blog is not our only connection. We are connected in spirit...from the heart, and we will continue our precious friendship outside the blogging atmosphere. Your presence here has added SO much...love, joy, hope, encouragement, comfort, and grace. Your name is permanently written on the pages of my prayer list book, and I pray for your regularly. You can count on me continuing to do that for as long as I live, and I do trust your dear, precious mother continues to improve and that God will grant her the desires of her heart to live independently again. I know how hard this path is for you and your sister, and I do trust God to give you the daily strength, courage, and wisdom such a season of life demands from you. Sending big hugs to you today and much love and many prayers. I will miss you terribly here...your labors here on this blog have not been in vain. They have accomplished what God wanted them to accomplish, and now, as you step forward into another type of ministry, He will be with you every step of the way. I love and appreciate you dearly, sweet friend.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562093136200114577.post-2598960916807808252018-01-02T14:45:43.321-07:002018-01-02T14:45:43.321-07:00I wish you all the best.

Ou...Dear Debbie, I totally understand how you feel. Our loved ones and our own health come first...and we know how it feels to feel stretched between too many "needs" and have-to's. We each have to determine where to draw the line. You will be missed here, and perhaps you may find that you want to drop a line now and then as the Lord leads...but without the pressure to keep up with everyone. We will continue to pray for you and your mom and family as you sort out all these issues. Take care of yourself and draw close to Jesus through it all. He will carry you through.Pamela M.
