Have you ever had something precious snatched away from you?  Something you labored for and treasured?  Have you ever lost something special and despite an exhaustive search, you couldn’t find it? I have…

Our initial response to loss is typically, ‘Why?’ – as if understanding erases pain.  But I’ve discovered that understanding doesn’t eliminate pain, and oftentimes it makes things worse. This is not to say we shouldn’t try to understand, but don’t overestimate the results!

If you live long enough you will encounter some losses.  While some are more significant than others – all losses cause grief. The only thing that makes grief bearable is time and good company.  

The Comforter is with us.  Thank God that we needn’t journey alone. Thank God that we can provide both for one another – just a little time and some good company! 

2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 

 Matthew 5:2–4

Good Morning, I love you all!
