Good Morning,
I just poured myself a hot cup of Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee and settled in at my desk for a few minutes.
On December 29th 2024 we were shaken to the core by the passing of our grandson Dominick. Thank you for your prayers and support during this very difficult time.
I learned a lot in the last few days and will probably never share all the lessons learned. But here is one of them.
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. In the middle of this loss I longed for safety from any more hurt and refuge. I sought wisdom and comfort so I could help our daughter. Everything seemed and still does, to be in slow motion.
Prayer became a life line for me and direct channel where I could pour out my heart and unload some of the hurt. I felt comfortable letting God know that I was confused and at times angry. Through prayer I could vent and also receive some comfort.
Point of the day. In my sorrow, and pain, I wandered back into the arms of God through prayer and with help from others. If your heart is filled with hurt, pain, and anger, the best place to unload that truck is time spent in prayer and in God's promises.
God bless,
Marty
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. No matter what we are dealing with, and your trial was a very tough one to bear, we know that God is sovereign and he is goid, merciful, loving, and loved us enough to bear the cross. He never changes. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry Marty for the loss of your grandson and the pain your daughter and family are going through. As a parent I often ask God to spare my children pain, that I will endure it for them. But we can’t pick or choose those moments. We just ask that God provide us all strength and comfort. Prayers are still there for you.
ReplyDeleteMarty I have no words. You and your family are in my prayers. God understands your grief and your anger and those feelings are ok. My family loves yours. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
ReplyDeleteWe continue in fervent prayer for your whole family, confident God will pour His love over you, dear friends.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is difficult to grasp at times like these, I know that you know that Jesus,as He promised, will be with you always. May He bless, heal,and comfort your family. You and your family will remain in our prayers Marty.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers and heart hurt for you. Me and Karen will continue to pray for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteMarty and Rene we are absolutely so very sad to hear of your grandson’s passing. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our condolences Jim & Lauren
ReplyDeleteMarty, my prayers are with you and your whole family. The pain is very real, so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t it make you wonder how the rest of the world can go on singing, dancing, smiling and telling jokes? You have gained an understanding of loss that will enable you to keep silly words from slipping out when someone else has lost a loved one. We are thankful that you are in our lives.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry for your loss. Dave and I are praying for you! Thank you for sharing…
