A Sad Christmas

Hi to anyone who may read this blog. This is the other twin, CindyKay. SallyAnn and her family had somewhat of a sad Christmas this year. Unfortunately, her father-in-law who has been ill for a while now has gone to be with the Lord on Christmas morning.
It has been a hard Christmas I think for a lot of people this year and my heart goes out to SallyAnn, Bill, Robbie and Ryan, and all of those whose Christmas was a bit different from other Christmas' in the past.
My prayer for the new year is for people to have a more peaceful and prosperous 2014.
May God Richly Bless You All.

- SallyAnn Bruce

Dear Sally Ann,
I am so sorry to read that you lost your father-in-law Christmas Day. That would be so hard, and my heart goes out to you all. May the Lord encourage and comfort you in the weeks and months ahead. I will always try and return a comment to your blog, so I'd love to see more of you. It is a neat way to make friends. Hugs!

“The glare of human joy hides from our sight ten thousand blessings which we cannot see until it grows dark about us. And it would be a dire loss to live through all our days and never see these blessings. There are hundreds of Bible words which seem pale and without meaning in the time of earthly gladness, but which come out bright and shining like stars when the darkness comes on. You have no need for divine comfort when you had no sorrow; and a great part of the Bible was as yet an unopened book to you, for a large portion of it consists of comfort for those in trouble. But when the sorrow came, the words flashed out like stars at night, unseen by day. Thus we learn the meaning of the beatitude, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” We lose some joys, but we find others that were hidden in the light of those we lost. Where earth’s tapers burned with only flickering light, heaven’s lamps now shine. Where the human face shone in its gentle grace, the face of Christ now looks upon us in its divine yearning. Where we leaned upon a human arm, often trembling, at last broken, we find now, instead, the everlasting arm. Thus when we abide in Christ the light of his love is revealed as human joys pale. The deeper the earthly darkness, the richer are the divine comforts which are given to us, enabling us to be of good cheer whatever the tribulation.” ― J.R. Miller

“Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her.” ― J.R. Miller
