Moving On
Day 133
A journey through grief completely consumes your time,
energy, and thoughts. You walk through life oblivious to what is happening
around you. This overwhelming consumption will gradually cease as you move
forward through grief.
“There was a time after my husband passed away that people
would as me how I was doing,” says Marie. “I would say that I’m getting through
this second by second. Then, it was minute by minute. Then one day I realized
that I was coming along quite well. One day, I went outside and looked up and
there was the sky. I hadn’t seen the sky in years or head the birds because I
was just so consumed with everything.”
Your hope lies in God. Cast your cares on Him; lay your
burdens at His feet. In His great compassion and love, He will sustain you.
“Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because
of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:
21-23).
Holy Lord, I want to hear the birds and see Your sky again.
Amen.
