Spiritual Encouragement During a Difficult Season

I simply don’t have the strength this moment to tell you all the things I want to say. My world turned upside down this weekend, and I need rest to regain the capacity to be of help to my family. So for now, this Spiritual Encouragement During a Difficult Season will have to do if you care to join me in going deeper than the skin.

Comfort & Spiritual Direction

I will share more once I get my bearings. It involves our son.

Friday was devastating and a black beast. A close friend flew to heaven.

Thank you for the many prayers on our behalf. We are trusting what we cannot see.

Our Italian mama Tina with my sister Lisa.

    Faith in God is the only thing that can carry us through the valley’s in life and what enables us to have peace in this strange time we are living in. God is still in charge no matter what happens and He is allowing this for a reason.
    Thank you for your quotes which are so true.

    Michele.
    I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your dear Tina. I can only imagine how stunned and heartbroken you are and yet there is more. A mention of your sweet boy had me going back through your posts to find out about his condition. There is nothing worse than seeing your child experiencing pain. I know that first-hand and I am sending you and your family my love and my prayers for added strength during this hard time.
    Please keep me informed. If there’s anything I can do, I’m here for you.

      Thank you. We’re living a nightmare, moment to moment. To be this critically ill, hospitalized and vulnerable during a pandemic is awful. Please keep praying that his condition will improve. This is holy ground.

  14. July 27, 2020 / 5:21 pm

    Michele,

    I pray you receive the consolation that only our Lord can give and you find peace of mind during whatever trial you are in the midst of. You are a gift to all of here on this site.
