Find God AND the good in your grief!
One year ago yesterday, on October 17th, we memorialized my Mother. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all, especially because just a few months after losing her, we lost Chris’ Dad and last month, we lost my best friend/the boy’s Godmother.
God blew me away! There was no grief this weekend…only GOOD. God provided a ram in the bush, an unexpected blessing that brought a joy so powerful that it overshadowed and outweighed the grief. My weekend was full of laughter, smiles and peace!
Psalm 23 was the Old Testament scripture read at my Mom’s memorial. When I tell you this scripture hits so differently today...Lord have mercy! ❤️
I am thankful that Christ is the center of my life...His peace is keeping my mind and restoring my soul. I implore those of you who are grieving to cover yourselves with this scripture.
Find God in your grief AND find the good in it. Grief doesn’t always have to be heavy and depressing…use God’s Word and presence in your lives as a healing balm for your wounded hearts and souls.
I love you all and we will get to the other side of grief together! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23:1-6 KJV
