On Wings of Eagles

I received an email today from a friend of mine who is mourning the lost of her beloved almost two years ago today. Some have advised her to "don't live in the past" or "you have to get on with your life". Thankfully she has a very wise stepson name Larry who has given her wisdom and comfort from above.

He said "don't measure the time of your grief by someone else" Then he said, "I can tell you that you will not be over with the grieving until you have had all of "it" un-knotted from your stomach, dislodged from your heart and pulled out thru your tear ducts." He also said, "I believe that God uses special people in our lives to help us understand what love means and to learn to want more of it. When those people are taken from us, the world can offer some temporary pseudo-replacements but our Father offers to fill the void with His matchless and everlasting love."

The title of this post contains the words of a hymn that pulled some more of "it" through those tear ducts. Bless God for surrounding us with people with godly wisdom!
