I have just read about Marsha's son....her 3 year old son drowned in a pond....and my heart is breaking for this family. Suzanne has a post about this...
I cannot imagine the grief and sorrow they are experiencing.
Is it just me or do these tragedies seem to be coming in record number lately? Wives losing their husbands, husbands losing their wives, parents losing their children....well...not really losing them. They are awaiting their loved ones in Heaven. But, here, now, they are lost to us.
Time heals all wounds, or so they say.....I am not so sure...I think the wound just gets a scab over it. Time after time, that scab gets pulled off and the hurt is at the forefront again. Each time the scab grows back...but the wound goes deeper. The only healing balm for this wound is Jesus. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond our expectations. I have no clue how those without Him get through a single day...let alone a tragic event like these.
Hug your babies. Hug your Honey. Let go of the little annoyances. Just love each other....and remember that these days are so fleeting. Don't let another day go by without showing your loved ones that you do indeed love them. Time is just too short....
