I am simply that; beyond words, words alone cannot describe the magnitude of thankfulness that I have for each of you. The amazing blog comments of support and love that has been spread to me and Nathan from throughout the world, is simply astounding. I am beside myself. Thank you SO much. Those four words hardly have an impact to show my appreciation. It is so refreshing to see, in action, the Lord's love resonate from all of you.
Let me back up a minute.... Last night as I lay awake in bed trying to fall asleep, something was telling me to check my blog. I couldn't get it out of my head, so out of bed I arose, turned on the computer, and to my amazement, I found 227 comments on my post "How Are You Doing?" I couldn't believe it! I know Tom and I both know a lot of people, but did that many people really read my blog? And did that many people really leave a comment? I only started blogging again as a way to let friends and family have a place to go to learn what was going on with us, a way for me to communicate with everyone and not have to repeat myself a million times over. After Tom passed away, I still find that blogging/writing is therapeutic to me; that's why I continue to write. Well, I was so intrigued with these 227 comments, I poured my eyes into reading each and every one.
As I read more and more, the short phrase about a "love bomb" kept repeating itself by comment after comment. Some commenters left a note on where the live. Some from Indiana, Ohio, California, all over the USA, and even into Canada and one from Malaysia! WOW! I laughed, I cried, my heart raced, I felt (and still feel) so LOVED by all of these complete strangers taking personal time out of their day to read my story and leave me very thoughtful, helpful, and encouraging words in their comments.
So what was this "love bomb" that kept repeating itself? I decided to google it. I found a website here and Facebook page here. What a great concept, a networking group of caring people shining in, showing God's love to people going through a tough time, or just need to be reminded that they matter in the world. How amazing!
To all my Love Bombers: Thank You SOOO SOOO SOOO much! I cannot begin to express my gratitude and thankfulness for the love you have shown me, the stories you have shared and the support you demonstrated. Complete strangers, showing and sharing love. It is simply Beyond Words -- a true expression of God's Love.
I am looking forward to joining this Love Bomb group to help spread the love to others that need to hear it. It really made my night/day and I slept wonderful.
Heartfelt thanks,
Roxanne
