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

Often, I'm waiting for something. Today I was reminded of how I should wait.
We finally found a way to communicate which made a world of difference.
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.
I will savor those words and the wispy moments spent with two people who are both in heaven now.
Here's a reminder. Rest in him, the maker of the universe, the lover of your soul, and know it is everlasting.
The God who spoke the universe into being also became a human being. What a miracle! What love!
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.
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.
As this Friday that brings Thanksgiving week upon us, enjoy the simple rest and beauty in the day.
