#2023GivingThanks 3

This year 2023 I had a bad start because I was sick from 2022 Christmas till mid of Jan. I had ulcer kind of issue and I really had a tough time managing things. I was sick to the point of going to hospital and taking drips since I was so weak at that point of time. I never had hopes that I could even be healed of it my faith became weak too since I was enduring this acidity/ suggestion related issue for quite few months back that time. But somehow I picked up myself and relied on God. By His abundant Grace I was healed of that and now I'm feeling more good and healthy that it almost disappeared and never haunted me again. All glories and honors to God. And I learnt that our God is always awesome and there's nothing He can't do. To the one who believes it will happen. 

However,  during that sick period in mid of Jan, my husband had an official visit abroad for 10 days during which my cousin wanted to visit our home at bangalore for pongal holidays. We were talking about it for almost a year back and it never happened so she wanted to somehow visit my home during the long weekend. She has 2 daughters. But since i was sick and also my hubby wud not be around and having them come for very first time to my home i politely denied stating the exuding fact. I don't know why but both my cousin and her hubby tried to come here of making it happen. Though i also desperately wanted to have them home but since i was hospitalized that week and took drips in my husband's absence leaving my 5 yr old to my friend i had to take an auto all myself and the situation was really not welcoming.  I took the final call to stop them coming home and ya it was too heavy for both of us. 
My cousin's elder daughter aged 8 always used to talk to me and my kid(Eric) over video call and would be too excited to see bangalore.  So since the plan was canceled,  my cousin decided to go for a nearby resort in Chennai along with another family who had similar aged children.  There my cousin's daughter slipped into the adults pool and lost her life.  The parents themselves took the child in their car to a nearby hospital and got to know she already passed away.  This broke me into pieces and there's no answer why all this happened. Parents are too deeply wounded and still they are not able to come out of this. They used to go to csi Matthew's church at tambaram and now they never go to church. 
If anybody nearby(selaiyur) God willing able to talk to them or meet them in person and help them out in 2024 that would be truly a blessed thing 🙏
