It does all seem to easy, doesn't it?! But, we ARE the only one that can decide how We - ourselves - will...<br /><br />Take care, and if that TV show isn't what you want to see...just walk away! That IS what I do also!!<br /><br />Continuing to read your posts; continued prayers for your both, and hugs as well...catching up after a LONG WEEKEND away!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954512718777249848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-43768635771930122522016-04-03T21:06:52.346-07:002016-04-03T21:06:52.346-07:00Joy, thank YOU!

I am truly humbled by your courage and determination to stay positive, no matter what. And it's all the more amazing because your life would be considered pretty gruelling by any standards. These words made their mark as God intended them to: "But I'm happy. I choose to be, and I work at it." Yes, that is key to enjoying life or sinking in despair. Thank you for shining the Light and radiating hope in the midst of such challenging circumstances. It helps more than you know. Eternal consequences come from such obedience. Blessings and prayers in abundance. <br />Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-89569352866717392112016-04-02T21:11:53.758-07:002016-04-02T21:11:53.758-07:00Barbie, thank you so very much...the love and supp...Barbie, thank you so very much...the love and support I get from this community, the outstretched arms of Jesus...how could I not be happy!<br /><br />I am so grateful that you are here!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-79372679736490407022016-04-02T21:10:50.689-07:002016-04-02T21:10:50.689-07:00Paul, thank you so much for this.
