Today is a hard day...one of our finest is transitioning to see God's Glory. Those left behind pray and cry out that we do not understand. Her husband who survives has depended on her for over 20 years in his battle with ALS...we wonder how he will be cared for.
Yesterday one of the precious children at our church did a solo of "Jesus Loves Me"; it was heart wrenching as we took the words to heart...even in the midst of suffering and grasping for answers, we do know that Jesus does indeed love us...he wept when his friend Lazarus had passed this life. Our prayers were that she would be miraculously healed on this earth...God gave her rest for her weary heart instead.
In her memory, I will be more intentional in letting others know of my love for them; I will reach out with calls and notes as she often did to those who were facing challenges that life throws at them. I will be more transparent in sharing the side of me that is not always put together...no more pretense...just real.
As the tears flow from heaven, we need to remember that rain also is a cleansing agent...God is ridding us of disbelief and showing us a better brighter tomorrow because that is just how she would want us to see this.
