Lessons from a Twig
No one invites death. Or change. Strangeness. Or hard times. But they come to all of us. When they come, how will those changes leave you?

Dream a little of the past. Enjoy the precious memories. Then look to the future. That's what I'm going to do. It's a new day.
Traveling is lots of fun, but the getting there is sometimes not as easy.
I realize I can't continue to mourn every moment in life or I'd be sad all the time. But sometimes, I think it's ok to be introspective and think about fleeting moments. The sweet and savory moments in life.
As I get older and have more experience in trusting God, I can tell you it’s worth following Him. Believing in Him. I’m rich.
Grief has its seasons, too. I'm not sure what season your grief is in, but you can trust God is with you in your season. Perhaps this season, you will experience joy.
I think we should learn from the birds. Right now, though it is cloudy and blustery, I can hear the birds chattering together. They aren't afraid of the clouds. Perhaps they know, the sun will come out soon.
If your mother is still on earth, take the time to get in touch with her. Time is fleeting and one day, she won't be here to express your love to her.
Remember there are many kinds of grief and loss. Not all grief is death. Sometimes it is life--with pain or illness, depression, loss of a job, loss of purpose. I could go on but you get the idea...remember, you are not alone.
Eventually, you will not grieve as much because if we believe in Jesus for our salvation, He has given us the Holy Spirit who is with you right now! Take heart. Ask God to help you live. Until you meet Him in heaven where there will be no tears or sorrow.
