Knowing this is normal (as you and all your commenters have attested to) and will get better, as I have experienced, helps tremendously.Anna Karenina's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340346957291431499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-15408476994170573562023-01-31T07:35:24.681-08:002023-01-31T07:35:24.681-08:00This was such a comfort to me this morning!

As you said, we cannot afford to go by our feelings, for they are so fickle and unreliable. We must go by the unchanging Word of God and know that He truly is near us as the tears fall and we feel so overwhelmed. Thank you so much for reminding me, sweet friend. You are such a blessing to me!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-82360759030450231642023-01-30T14:04:09.265-08:002023-01-30T14:04:09.265-08:00Thank you so much for sharing Fanny's hymn.
