It’s Hard to Say Goodbye

Rita has recently taken on the role of caregiver for her mother-in-law who has suffered a stroke, and needs lots of love and care. This has forced Rita to reprioritize her life and that of her family. The Lord had given her the word that some things will have to be put on hold and others dropped. And I’m sad to say this all means she is leaving the table.

The sisters at “The Kitchen Table” would like to tell Rita how much we care for her. Many of you don’t know this, but we have great conversations behind the scenes with one another, and a few running group jokes. We have laughed a lot the past few months, and at times shared heartaches and pain with each other. And yes, there are days our inbox feeds on Facebook are just plain silly. We have all learned that though we may live in other states and cities, we are very connected to one another.

Rita we will continue to pray for you and your family and you will forever be in our hearts.

We admire your great strength in the Lord and your compassion for others. Your mother-in-law is very blessed to have you as a daughter. When we see the care you are giving, we can’t help but think of Naomi and Ruth and the deep unconditional love that was the basis of their relationship.

My dear sister, hold tight to the hand of our Lord, as you travel this new road of caregiver. Remember that no matter what each day may bring, that our God has given you everything you need to be successful and pleasing to Him in this season of your life.

Please join us in leaving a goodbye blessing in the comments section for Rita. I know that many of you have enjoyed reading her blogs.



We love you dear Sis!!!

Your Sisters at “The Kitchen Table!”
