The only people who say that have never borne the dreadful weight of death's bitterness. <br /><br />Do others say that to make themselves feel better? Because they don't make the family feel better. I wish they would be silent or just give a hug or something other than pretending that the grief will end before Heaven.<br /><br />And thank God, thank God, we do have that solid hope of Heaven. Not that it makes now hurt less. Not that God is *not* good now - because we know He is. But we also realize that He is willing to allow (for reasons we will understand later) some unimaginable suffering during this life. His own Son is our number one proof.<br /><br />So I guess we go on like Jesus, "Who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross."<br /><br />You are certainly enduring it now. <br /><br />And I pray with all my heart that the "joy set before you" is right around the corner. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.<br /><br />My friend Carol went to join Laynee this week. I wish I was there, with them both. I know you do, too. No, this is not morbid. This is "fixing our eyes on the things not yet seen."<br /><br />Until the joy comes and the dawn breaks,<br /><br />Cathy in MissouriGroveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867095709948739457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809393053053740938.post-21525129197378471642011-07-07T23:30:59.548-07:002011-07-07T23:30:59.548-07:00You will make it through it...
