How hard for you. But I am a big believer (no matter how trite it sounds) that God doesn't send you anything you can't handle. I did have a chance to have that tested as well in all of 2011. It was a very hard year for me too.<br /><br />Glad to have found your blog.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-78455358411845080602013-01-27T22:06:59.109-05:002013-01-27T22:06:59.109-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jan Thomasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125114979822748860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-91577688223653595192013-01-24T19:45:46.546-05:002013-01-24T19:45:46.546-05:00You are wise.

We all have sufferings to bear but you seem to have gotten more than your share.<br />keeping the Sabbath holy is something most people have forgotten. Reading a book called "While you were sleeping" reminded me of that. So on Sundays we go to church then home to a simple meal and just relax all the rest of the day. We do not shop or eat out, making someone else work.<br />Thanks for visiting my blog. I am your newest subscriber.

What an interesting life you have. I have just clicked to be a follower and would like to be entered in your giveaway if that is still possible.<br />Love your tale of putting yourself last. This has been the biggest problem I have ever had to overcome. When I lived among people who held the same beliefs it all worked fine. But not here and definitely not any more. I like your way of saying that it is God's will that you look after yourself.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-86123956257728574182013-01-22T23:55:22.075-05:002013-01-22T23:55:22.075-05:00Sandra thank you for visiting my blog.

I have always needed chunks of solitude and times to fill the well. What can be harder for me is to tackle my to-do list. My favorite verses are the ones to be still...in confidence and quietness, etc. <br /><br />I enjoyed so much reading about your and Dave's life there on the farm and about its history. I am glad you moved there to love it once again. Even though I don't know you personally, I feel like I do from having gone back and read the past three years of your blog. I hope to keep working back to read more. <br /><br />Your blog is a mix of so many important things and I learn so much. This week I am going to try to prepare and plan to deliberately set aside Sunday for time to be quiet--and sit still. Now if I could only get my husband to sit still!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-46078181377213217142013-01-22T23:37:45.225-05:002013-01-22T23:37:45.225-05:00Sandra, thanks for visiting Rustique Gallery! You ...Sandra, thanks for visiting Rustique Gallery! You have a sweet blog here. Though I have a different faith, I can surely relate to the things you are going through and learning on your lovely farm. One thing I've learned is that I have to take care of myself, as no one else can do it for me! We women can take on so much, but there is balance. <br />Hugs,<br />SherryRustique Gal https://www.blogger.com/profile/00437687948857614576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-81808171879450067012013-01-22T22:07:53.093-05:002013-01-22T22:07:53.093-05:00That was a lovely post Sandra.
