Thanks for your prayers, Laura. You know what I’m going through! It’s such a bittersweet time.

That’s great advice, Mary. I appreciate you sharing from your own experiences because I know there is truth there. I need reminders that it continues to take time to process going through memories, and it’s not a one-and-done thing.

This makes me happy, Jean. Thanks for sharing this experience. I’ve been using “now” as my word during centering prayer the past few weeks, and it’s been so effective to bringing be back to my original intention instead of allowing my mind to go with the drift (something I’m still rarely successful with, sad to say). I’m praying that the Centering Prayer retreat next weekend will be able to help me with that….

Sometimes seeing makes all the difference…. I know I’ll be glad not only for now, but also for later, that I have the pictures.,

I foresee lots of playdates with God as we continue to go through my parents’ stuff, yes? 🙂 Thanks for your sweet encouragement always, Laura.

I appreciate this, Amber. I’ve found it very interesting this week too to journey through other “one words” and see how God is so active and so individual in each of our lives. I’m glad he’ll be using “resurgence” with you. It’s going to make for an interesting year! 🙂

Thank you for this advice, Beverley. I can already see the wisdom in it. Some boxes of stuff we could go through rather quickly, but other things I’ve brought home so I can linger a little longer.
