It is true when they say we can't succeed in anything without the love of God. You can't, you just can't! When I'm out shopping and I see the happy couples, when I look around my empty nest and can’t hear the laughter of children, when my tree is up and my house smells like pine and it's cozy, but I'm snuggled by myself. It all can be a bother, but the grief is brief because I know prayer works.The key to prayer though is not to so much to put the pressure on God to speed the love process up, but to let Him you know you are available.
