It was theirs when they got here.
I love this, Barb...
when my daughter was 4 1/2 and fighting two cancers, I had to turn her over to God each day.... I wasn't afraid of the cancer...I was
very worried about the poison they were going to pump into her over the next four years even tho they said "this is when she will relapse and this is when she will pass"...God's truth...
My mind was on what she and God would decide....
In her battle with Alcoholism, my heart was chewed up in a million little pieces, and wondered what God and she would do and I turned her over again...
Our mom hearts are tender and we all need hope, nothing wrong with hope
Even tho I knew what I knew: free will, no guarantees, she is God's child not mine etc...my heart needed hope, as I let go..
