Comments on: Has 2009 Been A Difficult Year For You? http://www.ronedmondson.com/2009/12/has-2009-been-a-difficult-year-for-you.html The Blog of Leader, Pastor, and Church Planter Ron Edmondson Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:24:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.ronedmondson.com/2009/12/has-2009-been-a-difficult-year-for-you.html#comment-4576 Anonymous Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:47:22 +0000 http://www.ronedmondson.com/?p=4675#comment-4576 It has been the worst year of our lives. We came within hours of losing not only our business, but also our home and cars. Another month, I found my husband unconscious in the parking lot of our business, a heart attack. While at the hospital, we were hounded daily about how we were going to pay for it: no health insurance. Our youngest daughter moved to another state for college. My husband's best employee and excellent friend whom he had led to the Lord had to move out of state because we could not employ him. I have never seen a man sob like that. Our business recovered, and two weeks ago my husband took a loaded gun away from our very depressed son. We are grateful that he is alive and getting help. We were too engrossed with our own difficulties to recognize his depression. The stress this year at our house was totally overwhelming. Here's the good part: we are walking a closer to the Lord than we were at the beginning of the year. It was worth it all, but we are not wanting to repeat it in 2010. We have a lot for which to be thankful. We are not taking too much for granted at this point. I love You, Jesus! Here is the good part: It has been the worst year of our lives.
