The pain that Beth is going through, and the depression that Claudia is going through, and the fear that Rifka is going through, is all jumbled up with the feelings that I am going through now that the boys have moved so far away.
I was finally able to clear the tears enough that I was able to start reading. I went to my Facebook page, to the readings there from all the different studies. This one is the one that allowed me to start writing:

God’s Pastures Are Green
by Charles R. Swindoll
by Charles R. Swindoll
We are His people and
the sheep of His pasture.Psalm 100:3
I am told that sheep, being stupid animals, frequently are alarmed and actually run over each other, racing away from something that startles them. the sheep of His pasture.Psalm 100:3
The shepherd corrects the problem by catching a sheep and gently, yet firmly, forcing it to lie down and feed quietly on the grass beneath its feet.
In our hectic, hurried, harassed age in which headache medications have become the best-selling national product, we must occasionally be made to lie down by our Shepherd-Savior. When He steps into our helter-skelter world, He often forces us to rest.
If that has occurred in your life, give thanks—the pastures are green!
I was getting caught in my worries for the boys and my sadness that they won't be a daily part of my life. This article is helping me realize that I must hunker down and stay in His Word. I am here. More importantly God is. God is! He is in control. I need to stop and just feed on His Word until He fortifies me enough that I can continue with this life He has gifted me with.
