How wonderful is God's faithfulness and grace, and how precious that your older daughter was there to help her sister. I have seen my three daughters be there for one another so many times, in a way that honestly, I could not. And then your pictures ... can't beat a Carolina beach for beauty at any time of day, but especially at sunrise and sunset. Such a breathtaking thing, so full of promise. Thanks for sharing your life-affirming reflections. God bless you!<br /><br />Happy Friday, Happy Skywatching, and Happy Weekend!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944766018173436353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445127530546217589.post-26526017796535217572010-09-10T11:10:20.398-04:002010-09-10T11:10:20.398-04:00Beautiful skies.

Your daughter is fortunate to have you as a mom to help guide. When we are young, a heartbreak feels as though the world had ended. Although it may not be comforting to her, tell her I look back on all my heartaches and I am so thankful that they occurred. Somebody was watching out for me. :)<br /><br />Your photos are wonderful! You should think about posting on Friday's SkyWatch.

I have been in the darkness before, and I find your likening it to the sun's travel compelling. Truly a wonderful example.

I wish I would have had a big sister's shoulder to cry on, and I'm sure she told her it would be ok. Doesn't seem like it now, but it will be. Broken hearts help us to grow stronger, and probably wiser too!

I love sunrises and sunsets...and I am beyond in love with the ocean!!!<br /><br />Along the lines to what you are saying, I read once that while our trials may make it seem like Friday (likening our trials to Christ's death on the cross), Sunday WILL come.<br /><br />It's hard to remember that when you are deep in despair, but it's so true. And that's when it helps to have caring, encouraging friends in our lives...friends that will remind us that the darkness doesn't last forever, and who will be there with us until the darkness is gone.<br /><br />Totally lovely post.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445127530546217589.post-83811079860783831222010-09-08T17:17:07.242-04:002010-09-08T17:17:07.242-04:00Beautiful pictures and a beautiful post!Beautiful pictures and a beautiful post!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.com
