At times like that I always think of Mother Teresa's quote that we are not called to be successful, only faithful. Hopefully, God knows that we are doing some good even when we the earthly rewards are small or nonexistent. I for one am very thankful for your ongoing inspiration and encouragement. The cyberworld needs you! <BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>PatricePatrice Fagnant-MacArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146572541496916259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13981654.post-84756308864278620532007-11-05T12:34:00.000-08:002007-11-05T12:34:00.000-08:00Thanks Pat!

As for the Blessed Mother, I have her on speed dial too and I'm sure she's sick to death of me! Thanks for the cyber hug - I hope to collect on it one day in person.<BR/>LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873588106843395910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13981654.post-6835203141189371782007-11-05T12:18:00.000-08:002007-11-05T12:18:00.000-08:00Don't we all feel that way sometimes? Just wanna ...Don't we all feel that way sometimes? Just wanna take our ball and go home. You did the right thing... bringing it to your mother and prayerfully spending time in the Word... Your Mom sounds like a great lady. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget your Blessed Mother too. I find she gives me alot of great advice in the humility dept--when stuff gets out of whack or discouraging. "Do whatever he tells you" is usually good advice when faced with difficult situations. <BR/><BR/>Discouragement and despair are the devil's tactics to remind us that he's peeved about our progress to honor the Lord!<BR/><BR/>Here's a cyber hug - "0" :)Pat Gohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449860276137795051noreply@blogger.com
