And then, as<br />Sharon said, we just have to trust that Jesus finished all the rest.Marsha Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880659808422182525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-58975621441049366602014-06-02T09:47:25.696-07:002014-06-02T09:47:25.696-07:00Great post.

And yeah, I often ask myself whether I'm doing enough - in the lives of the ones I love, in the lives of strangers.<br /><br />In the wake of my dad's death, I have also spent a great deal of time wondering, "Did I do enough?" Was I a good daughter, caregiver, friend...?<br /><br />The devil would like to torture me with his answer, "No, you have never done enough because you will never be enough."<br /><br />We must not listen to the lies - because of Jesus, "It is finished." May the Lord show us His places, and the faces, where we can be generous.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-58530689718272184822014-06-02T09:07:13.112-07:002014-06-02T09:07:13.112-07:00I so loved hearing about that young man on the new...I so loved hearing about that young man on the news.

I just finished reading a book titles The Glass Castle about a girl who succeeds in life, despite the terrible situations and neglect she endured growing up.
