Sometimes it seems to never end !!!

Hello again my friends,

Well it’s been a while since I last posted and of course I have been busy with trying to get ready for Christmas, so like most of you, I have had my hands full.

Another thing that has happened since I last posted is that, we have had 3 more funerals to go to.

I must say that, when I think of the pain and suffering that my family and friends have to go through and will go through, it seems to never end. At times this, it’s almost more than a heart can bear or a mind can cope with!

We have had, such sad times in our community this year, with so many losses of young lives and so many families and friends grieving and it is so heart breaking to see others go through this.

Then like so many out there, my heart breaks again for families such as those in the US where the lives of children and adults are taken in such a horrendous way

What I have to do when things like this happen, because this is the only thing I can do to keep from falling apart, is that I keep reminding myself that, no matter what happens in life, there are some really wonderful people in this world that are compassionate and loving and this gives me hope.

I also remind myself that the best thing I can do at times like this is to try and focus on the positive, to live the best life that I can and to be the best person that I can be and I do this for myself as well as others. 

My friends, for all of you that are suffering due to a loss of loved ones at this time, my heart and prayers go out to you and your loved ones.

 I pray that you will find peace in mind and heart; I also pray that you are blessed and filled with God’s love and strength.

Take care and wishing you the best.

Maria
