Grief

Grief is an interesting emotion.  Have you experienced it?  Losing both of my parents seems to bring grief closer to the surface.  Some loss that makes me sad ultimately brings the thought, "Haven't I lost enough?"  However, grief is a part of love, as I have found.  Folks can be alive, still in your life, yet you grieve for the loss of a special relationship.  Trying to let that grief flow instead of bottling it up is painful but necessary.

But then......I lift up my eyes and see that all is not lost.  I have today.  I have choices.  I have sunshine and beautiful clouds to look at.  I have health.  I have enough.  My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is always here, always available for me to cry out to, always ready to comfort me and remind me that This Too Shall Pass.  He is my rock.  He helps me turn Grief into Gratitude.
