Keesha, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I still miss my mom, and it's been 7 years. Babies are such a beautiful reminder of the circle of life. I know you are pouring all your love into that precious baby!

That must have been tough to work with Alzheimer's patients. I know it's difficult when we watch people suffer. I don't believe that God causes these bad things, but I do think He will cause good to come out of them if we just look for it! Thank you for your kind works.

Roxi, thank you so much for your sweet words. They really touched me. I'm sure that you are a wonderful blessing to your family! You stop by anytime. I'm glad my post blessed you!

Thank you for this post. My Dad passed in January, so this was very timely for me. It was a beautiful way to look at death, a normal way, as part of life. Still it was difficult for me to read as a mother, so close to having given birth, to new lives. Thank you, though for reminding me of what life is about...

Beautiful! I often think, when I'm listening to our Reverend speak and I'm looking around at my 'other family,' how much love and amazement I feel at being part of the Oneness that our lives really are. We are so close; we just need to take a few breaths to remember that :-)

2012-06-01T17:22:53.222-05:00

You never cease to amaze me with being able to post something that at the very moment I need to read. As a young adult I worked with Alzheimer's patients and I am so sad to say I got "lost" in how God could do this to such loving people. I wish I had opened up and gotten more out of the experience. You are awesome!

2012-06-01T16:25:57.816-05:00

Oh Erin. Your words, your wisdom and faith just fills me when I read your posts. You have such an amazing soul and my gosh, I pray that I will be as inspiring as you are to other people especially to my family and kids.

I'm going to visit often!

2012-06-01T12:02:07.304-05:00

When I think of my dad, I think of his pure gentleness. He was such a loving man. He retired from the air force when I was a young adult and drove school bus for years. Later, he drove for the local transit company and he used it as a way to minister and love on people, many of them marginalized by special needs or poverty. When he passed away, too soon, and when my girls were still small, there were so many people at his funeral who were a part of his life whom we had never laid eyes on. I miss him desperately, but am so thankful that we got to have him in our lives.

what a kind and beautiful friend.
there have been people in my life that have had complete lack of heart and compassion. where some are no longer in my life, i pray for them to find peace and discover what truly matters in life.
i'm so glad you're feeling well and strengthened more and more by your faith, Erin.

erin, this is inspiring and so motivating.
i can't tell you how many times the "bad" has turned into good in my life...always teaching me lessons and strengthening my faith. my friends and i were just talking about this tonight...how everything placed in our life is there for a reason...and God knows what we are capable of and what we can make of our hardships...it only brings us closer to him.

thank you for sharing your heart.
and thank you so much for all of your sweet words and the hope that you hold onto in our journey. <3
lots of love

Erin, I'm all about being radical in my faith, so I could very much relate with this beautiful post. Giving radical grace...that's something I most definitely need to work on. :)

Blessings my friend!

Erin – this was so wonderful to read. And for you to post my pic! I had to giggle thinking readers will say, “oh yeah – it’s the lack lady!!!” HA!

It was a privilege to pray with my friend. As always. I love it when we lift each other up. We need to remember to do this because God is always faithful.

Still praying for you!!! Our God will supply all our need!!!

Thanks for your kind words, Amber! I think we all struggle with loving those who have intentionally hurt us. I remind myself that we intentionally hurt Jesus! Thank you for stopping by!

2012-05-30T22:45:50.965-05:00

So well written! It is easier for me to love those who are in need, than to forgive those who have personally hurt me, and worse when it was intentional. I know God wants us to forgive and that is my weakness I must work on.

This is such a great post and a wonderful reminder!

2012-05-30T21:50:47.597-05:00

Chelle, I'm so glad this post blessed you. It's a hard walk to live, love and forgive so radically! I will pray for your relationship with your brother. God knows how precious family is and He will work in your brother if he allows Him!
Blessings,

2012-05-30T21:26:56.575-05:00

Erin, this is a great post and very timely for me. I have a brother that fits the not so easy to love description you gave which also makes it hard to extend the radical grace and forgiveness. But God is good and He has been showing me if not for the grace and forgiveness He has shown me I would be hard to love also. Thank you for yet another reminder. I know you didn't just write this for me but I am one that it was meant for.
Blessings to you...Chelle
