Hope for the Day
by TTB on Thu 1 Jul 2010 - 12:35
I received this mail this morning and would like to share it.
"HOPE FOR THE DAY"
Sometimes its so hard to remember life as it was before our loss. We try to "get back that feeling", but we can't. When the bottom dropped out from below us, we were crushed, and the healing seems to be an ongoing work, and we forget what life was really like "before."
So, we begin to mark the calendar with "firsts." The first time since it happened....the first birthday, the first movie, the first time in church, the first vacation, the first holiday. And, every event seems to be shadowed by the darkness of our loss.
We wonder how we are ever going to go on. Will it get any better? Will the heaviness ever lift? Will laughter ever be part of life again?
Our loss changes the entire constellation of our lives. That fact will never go away. That is etched into our hearts forever.
But, the edges will soften, and events and people that enrich and bring love into our lives will bless us so that our loss will not always take a front seat, but will in time become part of the tapestry of our lives that will add its own bit of special beauty that we will wear with special affection forever.
If your heart feels like it's breaking in two today, remember with patience and hope that your life will not always feel this fragmented and broken. Hope will embrace your heart and allow love to bless you as joy slowly returns.
"No matter how broken we feel today, when we place our hope in God, we will feel comfort and joy once more!"
"..and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." --Romans 5:5
