Thank you for both of your helpful videos today. I realize that it is the Lord;s good news and consolations but it lands so well coming from you. There are days when I feel so limited in what I can do to benefit others. Why, the government , not so tactfully. hints that we old folks are an economic burden and not much use. Then, I watch today's video and hear that God has lots of jobs, great and small that we can do for the kingdom and that was quite encouraging. I needed that. I wish I had heard your Blue Christmas video and lit all of those candles, and prayed all the wonderful prayers many years ago when my husband died. I wish I had a shiny quarter for every time some wellmeaning person said things like " You know he is in a better place" , or " I am so sorry he left you with two children and little ones at that" or You must not cry because your children will see and be afraid" And, the kicker was, " Don"t you want to be like Jackie Kennedy and be controlled and serene ?' THEY DID NOT HAVE A CLUE !! But, at that time, that kind of reaction was pretty standard . I want to think we are more enlightened now but am not sure. There, now I feel better. Along way around the barnyard to tell you that your words and feelings were heard and appreciated. Is there anything dearer than to feel understood.
