IN MEMORY of DORIS JEAN COSTON
It was 32 years ago tonight that my mother in law Doris Jean Coston was murdered. Each year I think of this time. I think of the lady that murdered her wondering how she is doing. I forgave her.....I don't know if my former husband and former brother in law have forgiven her but I have. I pray that she knows JESUS and is living for him. Each year on this day I think about my former husband and his brother and the horrible pain we had. I know wherever they are....they of course remember this day too. They may think I have forgotten but I never will.
For some, the death of a loved one creates other deaths. Doris' dad died about one year later. The pain was too hard for him to contain. That tragic evening a few minutes after 7:10pm changed lives forever. We all lost that day. I know Doris is with the Lord and she was the most wonderful mother in law to me. She really loved me. She had great means and I was poor.....and she took me in to her family. That is a real love. I miss her. She had plans for me. She wanted me to be a lawyer. She said I would make a good one. She believed in me when I did not believe in myself. JESUS DOES HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED!
Today at church, my pastor preached on LOSS.......He read from Isaiah 61:1-4. That talks about setting the captives free.......comfort for the brokenhearted and prisoners will be freed. We are prisoners of pain and hurt and heartache. JESUS sets us free if we will let him. God will give beauty for ashes. JOY instead of mourning. PRAISE instead of dispair.
Jesus weeps with us. When we cry HE crys. JESUS is so sensitive.....to our needs and he does cry with us. What Joy that should bring in knowing that we do not walk alone if we are children of GOD. Jesus welcomes us with love........abundant love.......more than we can ever imagine.
Pastor Matt said today, "God has better plans for us than us just making it". The Joy of the Lord is our STRENGTH. Pastor Matt said "Open up your hand and let go" of the bitterness, grief, and mourning. Pastor Matt said "JESUS WILL GIVE US A NEW IDENTITY". He said "The TREE of Righteousness".......A new identity to be planted.....roots that go very very very deep. Not like the trees with roots above ground". GOD can rebuild the devestated places. After we have healed to keep going....then we share with others about loss and talk with them about how JESUS rescued us. Lean on JESUS........he is the builder..........No loss is too devastating for God to mend. Praise YOU JESUS CHRIST.........

Tips
I love candles and when they get dusty, use a nylon hose (the one with the runner in it) and wipe off your candles.
If you have stuff stuck on your pans........add water a bit of dish soap and heat on the stove. I have done this for years.
Clip coupons and only use the coupons of your favorite things.....this way you won't buy what you really don't need....unless you have a $1 off coupon and the items is only $1.25.
Make sure that your shoes are fresh and clean. Make sure your shoes are in top shape. You can have on a very beautiful outfit and the shoes can ruin your whole presentation. For my black shoes I use a really good shoe polish. I make sure that if my heels need to be repaired I take them in to the shop.........the back of my heels or flats and the toes of my shoes are polished fresh.
Now is a great time to look at your shoes for Spring and Summer and be sure to polish those black flats and heels before the weekend.
When you are eating salad, dip your fork in the dressing and then dive into the salad. You should use less dressing this way.

Scriptures
"A God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness". Nehemiah 9:17
"The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger,
and of great mercy". Psalm 145:8
"When we were at Mounjt Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, 'You have stayed at this mountain long enough, it is time to break camp and move on". Deuteronomy 1:6
I love the above scripture Deuteronomy 1:6 and I am so glad last night I was reminded of the scripture again because last night "I GOT IT".........PRESS ON, MOVE FORWARD, TRUST ME AND MOVE AHEAD. That is what we are to do in a problem. That big huge mountain in front of us or a ball and chain that we have carried with us for years and years. GIVE IT TO JESUS.........so post Deuteronomy 1:6 in your viewing area........it will give you strength when you get weary. JESUS LOVES EACH OF US.......
