Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye, bye blackbird
Couldn't help but think of that song.
There is someone close to me that I love very much who has shown me recently that she hates me, so these two quotes are for me. Hope you don't mind if I indulge.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
– Martin Luther King Jr.,
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
– James Baldwin

I pray that God's love shown through you will drive away the darkness that fills her and heal her pain that she would come to feel love for you and for God. Many hugs and blessings for you, dear aussie.

I would pray for that person and show her that you still love her. It sounds like she is suffering from some deep emotional problem. I pray you both can work this out. Blessings and hugs.

Thank you all for your care and love. Drugs are involved and have been for about 30 years, so lots of healing needed in that area. God bless all of you. Hugs.

I'm so sorry for your pain. My brother has been addicted to opioid pain killers for about 30 years also. I took care of him for ten of those years. Three weeks ago he flipped out and all of his rage was directed at me. I knew everything he was blaming on me were all from his hallucinations, but it still hurt...My sister (always the mediator! ) advised both of us that we sever our relationship and call it quits. So...he's no longer my brother, but I still pray for him daily. I know it's the drugs that caused all this, but I seem to be the stimulus that sets him off. So, by staying away, I may be helping him in the long run. Healing needed here, too. Hugs. God bless you, too!

I'm sorry for you also JoyceRogers! I also now know the anger spewed by a brother on drugs. Its very difficult and hurtful! We have to pray and hand it over to the Lord to heal them and remove our heartache! Loving Hugs to you both! God bless and keep you both!!

JoyceRogers, I pray for you as I do for aussie, that God's love will shine through you to your brother and heal him. Even in your time of seperation God can lead him to realize that you and your love - and God's through you - have been there to help him all these years. There is always a chance for a miracle of reconciliation. God bless you and aussie, also. He loves you beyond belief and will carrie you through the pain.

Same here...thank you puzzlelover and nlb. I have tried to heal him with love for so long, but I guess it wasn't in God's timing. I'll let go and give it to God. He always has the right answer. Gentle hugs (I'm in a whole lot of pain tonight, so no bear hugs please! )

So sorry your in pain JoyceRogers! We'll just give you light (butterfly Hugs).
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
Had a wonderful service today as we got to witness 6 baptisms and one more next week when our Pastor's youngest son accepted the Lord as his savior. I am so proud of my Sunday school student.
My sister's church had an ourdoor church in a park on the island and several baptisms took place there too. It was an outreach where several churches were involved and those people in the park visiting the island, joined in as well. They are hoping to have this function/church every three months. Hugs mamag.

Wonderful news. We just watched "The Insanity of God" at church, about the persecuted church--amazing! It certainly provokes one to greater dedication and prayer.
Just heard from Kevin & the other great puzzle makers here. Their offices are closed due to the flooding of Hurricane Harvey. I wrote to them because I didn't receive Mon or Tues puzzles via email. Let's keep them in our prayers, please.
Thanks for letting us know..I have several friends and relatives in that area, and this is worse than they have ever seen. Please pray for all affected by this catastrophic storm. Kevin and all, you are in our prayers.

Kevin, You continue to be in our prayers, all of you and your families.
Dear Jas6415 - Somehow the me inside of me is more ambitious than the one I see in the mirror lol. But just think of all the information we have stored up from a lifetime of living. Hugs.
