WHAT SUNRISES HAVE TAUGHT ME ABOUT GRIEF…
Just like no two sunrises are ever the same, the effects of grief upon a person can never be understood by another. No one truly knows how I feel.
Every person only has so many sunrises to experience in their lifetime, don’t miss a single moment because the end comes suddenly.
I’ve learned that with every sunrise, darkness has come upon someone else. We are not alone!
I’ve learned that when darkness comes upon me, others can now find hope because the light has come back to them. I am not alone!
No matter how spiritual, religious, or how “much” Jesus I have, the loss of a loved one leaves an emptiness that can be unbearable at times.
I MUST make a choice to look for the sun to come up again or I will surrender to darkness, despair, and unrelenting hopelessness.
I have come to KNOW that darkness CAN’T remain forever, and there is a day coming where darkness will be gone forever!
I know that I know that God is GOOD, and His Son shines forever…way beyond the darkness.
Thank you Lord for your everyday love and giving me HOPE for a greater tomorrow by rescuing me, and allowing me to watch the Son RISE again. Thank you for the SUNRISE!
