Grief and Hope
Many things happen in our life to bring us grief. Loss of a loved one. Loss of a pet. Loss of a relationship. Loss of hope. Grief presents itself in many ways. But it feels the same. Its a pain in your chest, a knot in your stomach, a sadness in our eyes, a light that has gone out in our soul. 2 Cor. 12:9 states “ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. At some point in everyone's life, we experience grief. I'm on the cusp of it myself. Tomorrow afternoon I will have to put my beloved Sandy girl, my Corgi of 14 years, into my car and take her to end her life. How will I be able to do that? How can I put her in my car knowing it will be the last time?? I've been crying today, and I know tomorrow I will be a mess emotionally. The grief has already started for me...
