And your ...What a lovely, generous heart you have. And your children will always remember the example you set for handling scary things. It's still a really crummy thing to have happen, though, and I'm sorry you had to go through it. We had a car break-in on vacation once, and the jerks who did it were still sitting at the picnic table smirking at us when we returned to the car.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831459541120194640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-63757211339450303162011-03-15T17:49:21.478-07:002011-03-15T17:49:21.478-07:00I love that you excersized once again, even in the...I love that you excersized once again, even in the face of adversity and stress, to see the beautiful in the ugly. Our car was stolen last month right out of a college campus parking lot in the morning hours of broad daylight while my husband was taking a test. The police found it two weeks later, but the tools kept in the trunk, and ironically 2 missing boxes of diapers and the kids' books. Anyway, with the sad reminder, as you put it, of "ill-intentioned people," it makes you thankful for the safety of loved ones and many surrounding reasons to be grateful indeed.Bethy Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091281176026146502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-62461952197309817642011-03-15T12:03:32.963-07:002011-03-15T12:03:32.963-07:00Thank you, Hannah, for your wonderful insight on s...Thank you, Hannah, for your wonderful insight on such a yukky situation.The WoodLand Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130111285463882069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-34962257800201931182011-03-15T04:54:44.983-07:002011-03-15T04:54:44.983-07:00I had to smile as the quote you posted was one I r...I had to smile as the quote you posted was one I read again just last night. (I've not underlined those quotes the chapters start with, at least not yet.)<br /><br />I am still struggling to see the beauty in my present difficult situation. I know it's there but I am finding my own heart rather "prickly" at the moment. I guess I haven't "arrived."<br /><br />Thank you for your story.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-54146914524826771512011-03-14T19:55:58.086-07:002011-03-14T19:55:58.086-07:00Oh, I so feel for you, and I get it.

When I walked into our house a year and a half ago to a robbed place, I went into shock and then dealt with violation and fear as the weeks unfolded and we kept discovering things that they took...I hated that feeling of invasion. I also remember how the Lord kept us and protected us and that I had THAT to be grateful for. Thank you for sharing your struggle and your decision to make the ugly beautiful.Lindsey Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407924019039481161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-23777411611168444672011-03-14T17:19:26.790-07:002011-03-14T17:19:26.790-07:00This is so lovely.

I almost (like I had to go back and delete the typed words) left a comment on your FB telling of the event that said, "Just keep reminding yourself - 'People before possessions', wash, rinse, repeat." But then I erased it because I didn't want to seem to preachy, LOL. Love to see that my instincts were right and you were just in that same mindset. And love to see what God is doing in your life!!!!lnatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231305773105538710noreply@blogger.com
