Dear shalom : I grieve with you also, still, about Tony and his wife and children. But , I truly believe that there are partial answers, while not total or absolute answers. Last night I called my son in law. He was at home while my daughter was out running around, as usual, my son in law was with the kids. He said it was gloom and doom. He had been crying. He said I called at the best possible moment; at his lowest point of a low day. In 10 minutes I had him laughing. How. I do not know. It is the Lord. That is all I can say. His grace is sufficient. I told him. Steve this is my attitude about life. The Lord has it all. His universe . He made it . Me. Just reformed dust. My business. My wife . My children. My wealth. He has it all in His hands. My warm home ( 5 below here last night ). He can put me out anytime He wishes. As I'm leaving I'll be shouting Him praises from the street. As my stocks are going down the tubes I'll be shouting Him praises. As I see my wife leave me, (( sure hope she doesn't because she is the love of my life--#2 behind the Lord)) I promise you I will be shouting Him praises as she drives off. I told him Steve. You are a lucky blessed man. You have been to the top of the mountain. You had her for 12 years. As you drive off for the last time in your house, as you are looking in the rearview mirror crying. PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM !!!!!!!!!!Do you hear me PRAISE HIM STEVE !!!!!!!!! That is what I did when my wife left me 24 years ago. I praised Him. I was a blessed man to have my first wife as long as I did . 7 years But now I have the best woman in the world. I told her yesterday I promise her we will make it to our 50th anniversary. After that . No promises. Only 34 years to go. Yes shalom. Praise Him. He so worthy. At the worst of times He is worthy because we do not deserve anything from Him. Not the food we eat. Not the clothes on our backs. When He takes it away just Praise Him for his justice , and giving us our just reward for what we really deserve from Him. But may His grace , and loving kindness, get you through this day, I love you my brother, and wish I was there to comfort or console you with a love only God can give me........In Christ.gregor
