I hope that your brother establishes and grows a personal relationship with God during this time away from his family-- but that it will also change him.<br /><br />It's really hard to lose a loved one-- even when they are older. I lost a grandfather last year, and that was a little easier because of the distance, but I still think about him. It was nice to know that it wasn't sudden, but at the same time it's never easy to lose someone.<br /><br />I've been trying to follow the Total Money Makeover, and one of the things that hit me is that the author said that couples should not have "secret stashes of money" for gifts, etc. because we should decide how to spend everything in our budget. That made things really strange at Christmas (I'm usually more of a spender on gifts than she is), but it's for the best.<br /><br />Thanks for these thoughts and a glimpse into how God's working in you! When you train yourself to do God's will, trust that your feelings will warn you when you're going to do something you shouldn't!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-25355406632911037512006-11-20T07:13:00.000-08:002006-11-20T07:13:00.000-08:00Thanks Terri!Thanks Terri!Bethaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909743765477772019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-22894385632537434102006-11-17T09:42:00.000-08:002006-11-17T09:42:00.000-08:00Bethanie, you and your family will be in my prayer...Bethanie, you and your family will be in my prayers.
