Grief

The lessons God has taught me in times of grieving are the greatest lessons of my life time. And on top of the comfort He brings and the things God teaches me in my loss, He somehow turns the pain into a gift. Its amazing, and wonderful, and mysterious indeed. And when I think it couldn't be more amazing, God takes those times of sadness and turn them into the compassionate moments in my future where I can share with someone else who is hurting. God's love and care are that exquisite, that precious. I do not ask for the pain of loss, and yet... and yet I wouldn't trade a single lesson learned through it all. More to come...
