The stress of dealing with loss, whether it is a home, job, a loved one is a grieving process that often adversely affect the health of many. Many find comfort in faith but sometimes it takes many helpers along the to remove boulders. I sure hope that thing has been removed from your path since you posted that.

Its not always easy to be grateful and stand firm in the boulder days, but when we do, God is so gracious and pours out His favour and blessing.

But in hindsight the most wonderful of days were the ones when my spirit, body, and soul relied specifically on our Father and I had peace despite the storms of life. <br /><br />A good reminder, Sharon. It made me think of a confession and time that I wrote my heart to our Father in the margins of the book of Job. Thanks for your obedience, sister.

We tend to get lulled into a sense of security don't we? We are so spoiled.Taking things like our health, water, electricity for granted, when we really should be praising God for them as the true blessings they are . . . I think of those poor people in Flint, people who've lost power for days on end, people with chronic pain, etc. Truly there but for the grace of God go I. But if we just focus on the "it could be worse" thankfulness, we are really missing the big picture, right? I mean, we have eternal life in Jesus Christ. That is a blessing without measure. I hope your road is cleared soon, friend!

Thank you for the reminder that when the boulders come into our lives, we need to remember all God has done for us and not to focus on the boulder itself.

I've had several of those Job moments when everything changes in what feels like an instant to me but God knew all along the boulder would stop me in my tracks. I wish I could say I always just ran to the Lord but progressively that did ultimately happen more often than not (as I am pretty old.) Those hard times are teachable moments!

I was...Boulders, Job, Sharon and me ... rolling on! I was here early Mon. morning on my TV when there were 2 comments, but I soaked in your words here and on your "grateful page" (which I'm serious about you copying and pasting over here as blog posts each week because so often I want to comment but because you have to keep changing them each week ... well, there's so much in each one-what a wonderful, grateful soul is emerging from each one, but as I wrote in the beginning, that's how I see you anyways)... So, first off, I want to say that I can't believe it's been 2 years already and my heart still aches with yours and your mom's.<br />(for Jan. 16th) Beautiful tribute and love for both Fathers! Also, all the others from "Mountains" to Moore & "Bible" to "Termites" and "Water" (I kinda get) but hard to see gratitude in "Broken" is ever so true but beautifully turned brokenness into beauty ... May He bring you the Comforter (that's what my 'Be Prayerful' was about the Holy Spirit but I appreciate the books on Jesus anyways, since they're all rolled up into One). We can all rock and roll together! OK-but seriously, I do hope that those "issues" and your pieces are being put back in a sweet healing over you from the prayers I asked of Our Father after reading your words and then seeing you relate to Job, and knowing the pain of brokenness and being weary/drained/ exhausted, etc. somewhat - even though our circumstances are different, our hearts/emotions roll somewhat similar... and I care my dear friend, and know Jesus, the out-law, does too! Love the photo! However that quote from your devotional ... with the King ... well, I'm not so sure I can do this part ..."I will accept Your demolition of my security, even though it is painful." perhaps, in Christ or with God all things are possible (as written) but when it comes to "security" and the unknown well I will trust and hope! There's alot hidden under or by boulders, until Jesus gets hold of us/or them and smashes'em into pebbles that we can deal with or learn to cope, and you, my sister in Christ, can do exactly that as you turn Negative Nora into such a positive grateful Sharon, I'll be learning right along with you and pay no attention to Nervous Nellie! I do hope the pipes are fixed, termites terminated, roadblocks gone and heaven has returned to your mountain side. Blessed by all your words here and once again at my place. You never miss a beat. Love you so much and sending my prayers, hugs and God's peace and grace~ Peggy (at cyber computer)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-30745098977828548822016-01-19T10:43:30.536-08:002016-01-19T10:43:30.536-08:00I went on a mission trip deep in the mountains of ...I went on a mission trip deep in the mountains of Sonora, Mexico and we came across quite a few small boulders in the road and there was one we could barely get around. I like this analogy you've made. I just read about Joseph and his trials today. It seems as though God is constantly reminding me that He is still here in the midst of trials, and although He may not take them away, He can still use them to teach us and move us closer to Him!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-58984052930834932142016-01-19T08:06:52.696-08:002016-01-19T08:06:52.696-08:00Oh my!

I always feel sorry for Job each time I read about him. Hit, Hit and hit again. What an inconvenience. Through it all, we can still trust in God and always "hope" for the best. we were once temporarily snowed in over a week end, and no electricity. Fortunately we had a wood stove with a flat top we could use to heat beans and fry corn bread pancakes to go with the beans. We made it a memorial experience. If we can laugh at the big rocks we would probably be a lot happier. I feel bad for the folks who are really locked in. Hope the workers can fix this pronto. You are always able to turn these things around and give us a spiritual lesson so good.
