Praying for your dad and a speedy recovery for his heart. You have paid a high price for choosing to follow Jesus, and it must be especially difficult when your loved ones are ill and you can't be of comfort to them.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012536565426527226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-8284044278407046562011-07-24T17:45:18.909-04:002011-07-24T17:45:18.909-04:00I know that this can be hard, but hold on to those...I know that this can be hard, but hold on to those dear memories.

How I would like so very much to hug him and tell him how much I love him. Nearly all my adult life has been lived without him and I miss him. It must be difficult for you but if you can, write to him and tell him how you feel. I hope he gets better very soon.Vintage Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929038050028476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-25226574585305595112011-07-24T15:40:33.189-04:002011-07-24T15:40:33.189-04:00P.S. - GO CARDINALS! lolP.S. - GO CARDINALS! lolThe imPerfect Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445825490522502792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-32189514644645595452011-07-24T15:39:43.727-04:002011-07-24T15:39:43.727-04:00I understand the Amish see shunning as a form of &...I understand the Amish see shunning as a form of "love" but not telling you all about your dad just sounds mean to me. It's so not my beeswax and it's not going to change anything but you'd think someone in the area could've gotten you word.

My Dad went home to be with the Lord in 2000, five years to the month after Mom. Even with the separation from the Amish, the ability to honor our parents remains God's command. I pray for a closeness for your parents, a spirit of understanding and forgiveness, reflecting the forgiveness our Father has given Phyllis Blickensderferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206757687699759551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-1987184993933801822011-07-23T18:34:16.206-04:002011-07-23T18:34:16.206-04:00I can hear your love...I can hear your concern...I...I can hear your love...I can hear your concern...I can hear your pain...amd a hint of sadness.
