Just Another Day: Except it Isn’t

Scripture: Lamentations 3:22 The LORD’S loving kindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”…
Thoughts:Â How do you turn the page on the hardest days of your life? In three years I have learned:
- Pray
- Be with family and friends
- Pre-prepare
- Hydrate
- Laugh
- Remember
- Praise
- Be present in today (pain, tears, joy, love, all is useful to God)
- Notice blessings
- Encourage others
Prayer:Â Lord, you are faithful in my sorrow today as I turn the page on the tragedy of Jonathan’s death, and another year begins. May others learn, live, love and grow because they see your presence in our lives. I find joy today because you are faithful. Thank you that Brian journeys through grief with me. Â Laughter is not distant because you have given me Daniel and Natalie. Thank you for time with friends this afternoon. I feel pain, but know it does not last. Your love, instead is eternal! Amen
