Even Christians dispute over the role and presence of the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />...it is refreshing to read an account of a military mom whose PEACE is true and warm as it comes from the ONLY source of Peace. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing such a personal and touching testimony.<br /><br />...LOVE that you <i>handwrite</i> those love letters. :-)<br /><br />~es.Esthermay Bentley-Goossenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353385912611151311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741889335668464068.post-56523395489922159462009-10-27T13:58:46.493-04:002009-10-27T13:58:46.493-04:00How wow; I can understand your dilemma.

I know that the Lord loves my husband more than I could ever love him and that's the same with your son. I know it's easier said than done since I still struggle with worry over things I have no control. But slowly I'm learning and it helps me to see examples of real people who are living lives of faith and trust in the Lord.<br /><br />Thanks for hosting this week.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741889335668464068.post-26471982356224821922009-10-27T13:28:23.247-04:002009-10-27T13:28:23.247-04:00Thank you for posting this week.

(I love it when the quote is straight from Scripture!) I really appreciate the way you talked about the "worldly peace" that is offered, yet it is always temporal, with strings attached. God's peace is indeed eternal.<br /><br />Worrying about our kids seems to be a central theme in the life of moms! Bless you for raising your son to be a protector of peace. I pray that God's peace will surround you during this difficult time.<br /><br />Love to you,<br />Denise HughesDenise Hugheshttp://www.thequietquill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741889335668464068.post-55058911685725598372009-10-27T12:02:11.859-04:002009-10-27T12:02:11.859-04:00What is so wonderful about Jesus is even though we...What is so wonderful about Jesus is even though we give up our peace for worry making a very poor exchange, Jesus' peace is always there for us to curl up in. Seeing a child go off in the service would be very difficult, a tremendous interruption in our idea of "peace" Praise the Lord we have Jesus to lean up to bring us back into His "perfect" peace.

We are all so grateful for families like yours, and for young service members like your son, for all that they do to protect our country. Please give him hugs from our family ;o) <br /><br />My own struggle with finding peace is far more mundane than yours, but I still needed the reminder that peace is only to be found in Him.

Your post is convicting and yet a strong gentle reminder.<br /><br />If life is a river I'm swimming upstream but soon it will cause me to drowned. God wants surrender. Sigh.

I have no doubt that while you have concern for your son you are also overflowing with love and pride for your Marine. Kind of neat to think that your son has been right down the road from us all this time. The blogging world is cool like that. Please accept my sincere thanks for your son's service and for your support of him.Sarahhttp://www.gloryintheclutter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741889335668464068.post-74612053877238371202009-10-27T06:45:04.908-04:002009-10-27T06:45:04.908-04:00http://gloryintheclutter.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/...http://gloryintheclutter.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/in-other-words-peace/<br /><br />Here is the link to my post.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607325592432723018noreply@blogger.com
