Struggling Day Made Better

Today started out well.  I actually had the best night sleep since Mark's passing.  I was doing okay and then I had some paperwork to fill out.  It brought back a lot of memories and I began missing Mark so much.  Fortunately, I had planned to meet my daughter and grandchildren at the park.  It did me good to get out and be with them.  It was such a beautiful day, too.  Then on the way home, of course, I start thinking again.  When I got home, it was so empty.  I just poured out my heart to the Lord and what comfort I did receive.   When we focus on Christ  and His love for us, our little struggles seem to ease.  I say little struggles because when you put them in perspective that's what they are.  However, as they're happening they seem like a mountain. 

My sister gave me a poem that I thought was special.  It follows:

Life to be Continued in Heaven

Dear friends of mine-- Do not weep;

For our dear Jesus His promises keep.

He went to prepare a mansion fair

That we, dear friends, some day will share.

Of all the beauty we've shared on earth

It's nothing compared to Heavens' Birth.



Still another thing, my dear friends,

All earthly pain has come to an end.

So as I sit at Jesus' feet

Waiting my friends in Heaven to meet.

I'll just enjoy my family here

And praise Our Saviour for the earth we've shared.



So thanks to you, dear friend of mine

Who has bridged my journey

To this beautiful time,

Life is continuing in Heaven.
