I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have... ~ Rev. 3:11
I am struggling with loss today. The trip to Disneyland put off the inevitable. I am grieving Dodger. I am grieving the loss of my Mom. Her physical body is still here, but her mind is gone. I am grieving the death of a lot of dreams that are normal for any mom to have. The thought of my kids being grown and gone by this time next year, while exciting on the one hand, is so very hard on the other. I am grieving relationships that are not what I thought they were or would be. I know I am to hold on to what I do have. I have been blessed with so much. I know the best antidote to this overwhelming sadness is gratitude and praise. I know the best thing I could possibly do is to have a praise-fest, even in the privacy of my personal pain. Lord would you please redeem all of this?
