I'm facing a difficult situation today and was wondering, "I know I'm supposed to trust You, but I need help right at this moment..." The words 'Be of Good Cheer' popped into my head. I knew this was a verse, but I didn't find what I was looking for on my online Bible. So I Googled it, and lo and behold, I'm here. And you've said just what I needed. 'Take heart!' 'Replace fear with hope.' Thank you, Neil. Blessings to you and yours always. Razor I know this is an older post, but I truly believe that G_d led me to your blog.

I don't have one. But my mother was the parent I was closest to; she affected me like this. Keeps teaching me things even though she has been gone thirteen years...how lucky we are that we had such winsome teachers. Thank you for sharing this with your humble readers. I loved learning what this phrase meant today. hugs, You stir in my longing for a loving relationship with my Dad. I don’t have one.

You made me feel as if I knew him. "Be of good cheer" is such a good phrase to use in the bad and good times of life. You will always miss your father, but the grief gradually becomes softer and the memories more important than the grief. That's the great consolation of time. Hi Neil,

You always seem to have the perfect words to use to express your feelings regardless where on the range of emotions you may be. The mark of a great writer. That was a great post.
