				Letters to the Editor Message In A Song I decided to share this editorial with residents at the nursing home. Let's not wait. We do not know what tomorrow brings. Let's tell our dads how much we love and appreciate them. This song brought tears to my eyes as my dad died 25 years ago. He was different, but oh so loving, but I didn't know how to hug and kiss him and tell him I loved him. I am a 76-year-old mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and know now the importance of the word love. The word itself means nothing, but actions show what it is. See God in everybody and manifest His love especially today on Father's Day. I will share this verse with many on my list. Love, -- Gisele I just read "Message in a Song." It is good to tell our parents how much we love them, but what about when you tell them and soon, very soon, they say, "OK, that's enough!"? My mother died just a short time ago and this was her response. I think about this and come to only one thing. I had a willing attitude. Now "Pop" is left, my step dad...I do the best I can. Thanks to God for His Church and thanks to you. -- Jerri Anderson Are You Missing Something? Excellent suggestion. Keep up the good ministry work! God bless, -- Sean Serving as a Congregation What a truly inspiring article on the woman who visited her son in prison and the congregation was so helpful! That truly made my evening. -- Tony & Rochelle Brown Marilyn is a very warm and caring person herself and is a delight to be around. We love having her come and visit us. I wish it was on better circumstances with both being able to come and be with us instead of her son in prison. So being able to serve her and be her friend was a welcome lesson on serving others. -- The Joyners Reading Together I enjoyed Mr. Hooser's article on reading to your children. My 2-year-old granddaughter has loved Grandma reading to her for quite some time and, now that she has a new sister, she loves being able to "read" to her!! -- Marilyn Braley The Battle of the Christian Soldier After reading your Web page I was overcome by the power of God as He works through each and every one of us. I have become compelled to battle against the three enemies of which you speak. I have seen the light of Christ and His disciples, and would like to learn more about how to fight in the face of my sinful surroundings. Bible Education for Our Little Ones Stan Cook did an excellent job. -- Neal Brantley Even So, Come, Lord Jesus! I just read this inspiring article and, as usual, Janna says things that I feel but cannot express. I appreciate this insight she has and know that part of her purpose in life is to help others understand their own grief and pain, while writing is her own healing medicine. Thank you, Janna! -- Sherry Buckbee Would you please tell Janna Thomas "thank you" for her April/May article? I needed it. My husband may live for years or he may die shortly. Whatever God decides. Even though I had a 4-year-old son who died 20 years ago, I needed a fresh perspective. -- Jeannette Haskins Why Did Pamela Die? The article you printed about the loss of a newborn and the article in this month's magazine about dealing with death have really helped me. In 1990 my mother died on August 30 and then my first husband died on October 30. I remarried three years later and we had a baby girl nine months later. When she was 19 months old, I gave birth to a 9 lb., 9 oz. baby boy who had died before he was born. These events have changed the way I view life in ways that I believe cannot be understood fully unless experienced. Thank you for sharing real-life experiences. -- Robin Mackowiak Article on Home Schooling Thank you so much for your article on home schooling. I have felt an urge to do this (it's NOT from me, because I don't have the temperament for it), but didn't know where all to get resources for it. I've got a lot of friends who home school, but I needed to have something to show my husband so we can make an informed decision about it. Thank you again for your article. -- Suzanne Mills General Comment I am certainly happy to find your site. I just put in keyword "Christ" and found you. I thank the God who lives for that. There are so many myths about Christ, not only His birth, but every so-called Christian holiday. I mean rolling eggs, hot cross buns and a rabbit on Easter. All I can say is that we know all things work together for good, for those who love the Lord and the called according to His purpose. -- Jessie Johnson Copyright 2000 by United Church of God, an International Association All rights reserved.
