Although I am not always able to get my post up in time (late today, as well!) but I am always blessed by the quotations that are selected and the personal sharing that we experience through this online community. As a mom of a special needs child, I truly appreciate your wisdom and insight into the ways that God uses our pain to speak to a hurting world. Thanks so much!

I didn't stay there when my brother was in the hospital but my mom and dad did. We had a Thanksgiving dinner there once. Such a great place. However many did not have hope in Christ like you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>We do need to be ready to respond to others in need. Hard to do when we are self focused. Our faith needs more than just prayers, especially when we have the ability to give a helping hand..Our actions speak life to those in need.<BR/><BR/>Great thoughts, my friend.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>TiffanyTea with Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014131105695691106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597483468367201823.post-7389333638074817612009-03-24T10:51:00.000-05:002009-03-24T10:51:00.000-05:00Great Quote.

While her husband was in brain surgery she kept asking after others who were waiting on their loved ones. I think she really connected with one woman and it made a big difference in her life. Coincidentally, my aunt's name is Susan. How full of love and compassion you are, my friend. I'm so glad you shared this quote. It's a timely one for me and I continue to be amazed at the hurt the world is bearing. To be able to ease another's heartache is one thing, but in return forget my own, that's just gravy!

But in the midst of that situation, you were able to see the pain of others. I also believe the Lord will use each of us to comfort others who are going through something we are so familiar with.
