Thought for the Day
I wonder what would happen if people starting posting their personal prayer requests as status updates. Certainly, we’d all grow closer through the process of vulnerability. And possibly, Facebook could become a community of prayer warriors!
June 11, 2013. A Year Looking Back.
Hard to believe today marks a year. A year of pain, longing and questions but also a year of healing, growth and indescribable grace. I question whether we can fully comprehend the sweetness of life without first experiencing its bitterness. Today, as I miss my best friend like always, all I can think is what an incredibly sweet gift it was to do life with him. I treasure every memory.
The Value of Tears
I used to be scared of tears. I thought tears meant weakness, an inability to deal with life’s hardships. But one cannot know the supreme value of tears until he has cried his weight in them. It is then that we realize their beauty, strength, and power. Tears are a gift from God. The healing shower to our soul.
These days I cry at the drop of a hat. There’s no shame in my tears. Crying is a beautiful thing. Where there are tears, there is love.
Dear God,
I don’t know where I’m going nor do I know where I will end up. And just because I think I’m following Your will, doesn’t mean I am. But I believe that the desire alone to please You, pleases You. And I hope that at least this desire is evident within me.
Amen.
The crisp, sweet smell of fall reminds me of this time last year; a uniquely sweet period of healing in my life. I am reminded that stillness, presence, and grace are all powerful tools of healing that we should routinely practice, even (and especially) if we think we don’t need to.
