Wow! Thank you all so much!

Greetings Christian Friends! I am so uplifted by all the warm welcomes and responses.THANK YOU! Fellowshipping with other Christians is such a gift,no matter how we do it,online,by phone,mail,or in person. I am amazed every day at the power of Gods' love. All the years I wasted,believing I could handle my own life without His help! But,the Lord wants us to leave the past in the past,and go forward in our new lives in Him,so that is what I do.
My mother is 82 years old and in a nursing home in another state. I speak to her on the phone every day,and every day,I try to get at least one sentence of witnessing into the conversation. She changes the subject,or pretends not to hear me. Then she tells me she feels hopeless and alone,even though she has tons of visitors and family drop-ins every day. I have tried to tell her what is missing,why she has an "empty" spot in her heart,but she doesn't believe me,because she doesn't believe in Him. She asks about comfort,and I tell her where to find it. She asks for reassurance,and I tell her where to find it.She seeks forgiveness,and I tell her Who to ask. Same questions and answers every day,but she just won't reach out.
The world is so full of folks like my mom,lost,when there is a map at hand,lonely and afraid,when comfort is in reach,unbelieving,when the evidence is everywhere. Why is Faith so hard for so many? When I first began my walk,I had a hard time understanding many things,like the Trinity,for instance. I'm still not sure I get it completely,but I also know it doesn't matter. It is,so it is. God says so, so it's so. Period. Faith.
