There are days where we become very reflective on the things in our lives. This morning was that day for me. I felt a deep sadness, a heavy weight on my shoulders. That weight contained not my sorrow, but the sorrow of my friends and family. There are so many people out there who are going through struggles crying out for help. I couldn't help but think of them today.
To my friend who is facing yet another Holiday by herself raising her children all on her own, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that you are loved and prayed for.
To my friend who lost her father just a few days ago, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that you are loved and prayed for.
To the one who feels abandoned and disappointed in God, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that you are loved and prayed for.
To the one with family disarray and disputes over who knows what anymore, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that you are loved and prayed for.
To the one who is feeling unloved, unwanted, unaccepted by their church family, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge that you are loved and prayed for.
I could write on and on and the page would never be quite full. Easter is such a festive Holiday with colorful pastel eggs sitting among other goodies in a cute little basket. We get all dressed up in our very best and head out to Church. It's so easy to get lost in all of this finery.
But . . . there are people out there who are suffering and this will be a difficult time for them. I feel for these friends of mine. Oh, how I wish I could take away their sorrow and comfort them. Tell them everything will be okay. Tell them that tomorrow will come with a new hope. A new beginning. Let's not forget these friends of ours, especially during this Holiday.
Have a blessed day everyone.
