Blogging Break

I am just popping in to let you know that I will be taking a break from blogging for awhile. My Mom has been admitted to the hospital and I will be spending my time with her. My prayer(please join me) is that she doesn't suffer - so far she is resting comfortably and I am remaining hopeful she will be back to her sweet self again soon.
Take care,
Carolyn

    Dearest Carolyn,

    Certainly my heart goes out to both of you! But in a way you're so lucky for being 'close' to your beloved Mom. For me there is a distance of 7,000 km and a lot of money for flying home. My Mom is suffering from a severe kidney illness, only 10% functionality... we know what the outcome is; only a matter of time. I was so saddened when I hugged her goodbye on October 31st; not knowing if I ever would get to hug her again...
    But it helps to pray; in that we can bridge all boundaries!
    Lots of strength for you and your loved ones!

    Greetings from Georgia/USA
