Newsletter From Shirley
This is Number One of the newsletter I will send out once a quarter to keep my reading friends updated on books I am writing and other writing-related news.
We Wait
We wait for the time when we can move about freely. Get closer to our families and not feel the heaviness of this loss. When we can return to our jobs, and churches, and friends. Until then, we wait. Together.
Unsteady Change
Today and the days to come are unsteady and unpredictable. We don't know the future.
Perfect Peace in a Scary World
I hope these words....will give you peace. He is the only true source of peace. And health. And life. Best of all, eternal life. Let’s pray for our world. For the fears, real and otherwise. Jesus really is the answer.
Perfect Peace
The same God is still there, waiting to give peace to those who trust.....
It Has Been Good
It might sound strange, but I knew the drill. That I would be very sad and I'd have to work through the sadness and savor my past
What’s Your Wait?
Often, I'm waiting for something. Today I was reminded of how I should wait.
Choose to Enjoy
We choose to enjoy the time granted to us, grateful for every shared instant.
A Sniff Reminds…..
We finally found a way to communicate which made a world of difference.
Grief Cannot Shake
When Jesus left earth for heaven, he told his disciples he would send a comforter to them--the Holy Spirit. And during those early days of shock and disbelief, the Holy Spirit was there--and he's with me now as well.
We Walked
I'm grateful for these words that proclaim when our life began and how long it will be.
Savor the Moments
I will savor those words and the wispy moments spent with two people who are both in heaven now.
A Fresh Start
Here's a reminder. Rest in him, the maker of the universe, the lover of your soul, and know it is everlasting.
Take Hope, He’s There
I was astounded that the God of the Universe, reached down into my doubting heart and ministered to me! Right then in my pajamas and tear drenched face, I got a glimpse of God!
Two Days After Christmas
The God who spoke the universe into being also became a human being. What a miracle! What love!
Two Men, One Song
I don't know where you are today. Perhaps in deep sorrow. Estranged from the ones you love. Bankrupt. Ill. I hope you take the time to if not sing the words, read them. It's worth the effort.
Consider the Birds…..
Don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.
The Best is Yet to Be
Because of those losses, I'm the stronger because I've had to depend on God to help me through those losses. And even better, brought me out to the other side of grief.
