Your Family Needs
Your Support
Day 168
As difficult as it is, your life must go on. No, you’ll
never feel the same again, and that hurt place in your heart will never be
fully healed on this side of heaven. But the others – your family – they need
you to be involved in their everyday lives. They need your help as they journey
through grief.
“Your family deserves you as a hundred-percent person,” says
Barbara Johnson, whose two sons died. “They don’t deserve only half of you. But
so many times parents are so wrapped up in that grief. They keep rotating back
to that other time instead of saying, ‘Hey, I’m still alive. I have children
who need me.’ This is a new life. The other chapter is done, but the book goes
on.”
Provide your family with the love, attention, and nurturing
they so desperately need from you.
“If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and
especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than
an unbeliever” (1 Timothy 5:8).
Lord, thank you that
as I provide for others, You, in turn, will provide for me. Amen.
