I think that's why I've partly turned to religion although the local minister (protestant) didn't seem too interested when I phoned him last Week, just before Christmas.
It was as if he had heard it all before and I didn't go into much medical detail to him. He said, "Come to Church" but didn't sound too enthused. Then there are the happy-clappy type who talk in toungues and dance about frenetically. There are a lot of these type of Charismatic movement type of churches in Edinburgh, especially Leith which is quite near me. and they probably outnumber the traditional Episcopalian, Protestant or Catholic churches.
Saying that, I do believe in a Higher Power. AA taught me that. I don't mind what the non-religious think about me but I think what they are thinking is that I'm just scrabbling about for some sort of meaning to life.
I will tell you something Dreamy.
My twins were born very premature at just 27weeks, I was told that they would not survive. I went to the chapel, and I prayed.
I pray for you and others every night.
I think we need to believe in good, I think we need to believe that we can overcome our obstacles in life, I think we should always grateful for what little time we have on this earth.
Meaning to life???? We all strive to understand that.
I do believe that God never gives us more than we can bear, you have overcome many twists and turns in your life
Dreamy, I remember some of the stories and scrapes you got into, you came through them, so remember that and build your strength for the next challenge.
It is not your time yet. I just know it. xxxx
