Comfort & Grief

Pain & healing.
Grief & comfort.
Thoughts?
In the midsts of suffering God is with you.
God alone is enough.
Being whole can be an answer to prayer for healing.
You still have things to learn about God and yourself and sometimes suffering does in fact make you stronger.
I can always remember someone - who was it? who said when a woman loses her mother it is a real turning point - you can no longer throw everything over your shoulder.
It is a tough blow to take.
God gave me a family to take care of, so I was quite literally so 'on the go' I couldn't just grind to a halt.
Grief does come in waves - that is something else I recall a workmate saying - Michelle - and it is so true, you can be standing in a shop or watching a TV Show and it will roll over you.
There is a feeling of unfairness and sadness.
Being sad is allowed.
I tried to fit in a song that I related to in a worship plan I am doing for tomorrow, but it was too hard to obtain the song.
These Small Hours by Rob Thomas -
Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
I recall my first day back to work after my Dad's death and funeral.
I remember standing in a newsagency in the Arkabah shopping centre, on the way to somewhere, or just getting some lunch, can't remember - anyway, this song came on in the shop and I just felt my legs feel like water - it was a tough day. Truth be known I may have just gone to the shops to get out for a while.
I am going to review all the bible readings for tomorrow.
Yey, though I walk through the valley of death, you God will be with me.
