Thought of the Day–11/7/17

Hand to hold

Thought of the Day—It may take a village to raise a child, but that doesn’t give anyone the permission to abandon their children in the village square.  We need to once again cherish and treat our children as they really are; a precious gift from God, an eternal soul entrusted to our care, the next generation in a pint sized form.  They are not someone else’s responsibility, your best friend in training or constant irritant…they are a reminder from God to us that we too, still need to find the wonderment in the everyday, what it means to once again enjoy the essence of innocence in trusting others, to possess a colored blind heart… Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

CEMETERY

Thought of the Day—Isn’t it funny how, after losing a loved one, we sometimes feel guilty for moving on with our daily lives?  It’s almost as if we are afraid to move forward because we might forget or disrespect that loved one.  God didn’t intend for our life to stop the moment our loved ones’ did.  Sometimes, we need to just pause and remember that person with a smile or a tear and move forward, one step at a time, one day at a time…

CLOUDS

Thought of the Day—Sometimes grief hangs stagnant in our lives like a low hanging, dark smothering cloud deck, just waiting to descend and choke out our joy.  But time has a way of eventually blowing the dark foreboding clouds away, even if just long enough to allow us to see that the sun does actually still shine and our hope is still intact…weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
