As I reflect on my friendship with a dear friend who passed away last week,
I cannot help but think of her as I hear these lyrics ...
"Be strong in the Lord, never give up hope...God's got his hand on you, so don't live life in fear.
Take time and pray. His Love will find a way. These are the words I would say..." Side walk prophets
I find comfort in these lyrics at this time. Even though I cannot imagine my life without her, I cannot deny God has his hand on my life, especially in this difficult time. I also find comfort that He holds her close to Him...Finally out of pain, away from the trials of this life on earth, and in the presence of Joy evermore.
His love has brought me through many trials in the past, through losses of loved ones, through dark territories of my heart that I thought would have gone forever untouched,so I know this is just another
He will also carry me through.
Step by step.
I am grateful for all of those in my life that have been praying and who are coming along side of me to lift my spirits, and also those that are allowing me to just cry on their shoulder. I am blessed that I don't have to go through this alone.
I will miss my friend Caroline--I won't pretend I am not grieving, tears come, anger comes, loss haunts me...but I pray that my focus will continue to come back to all I have to be thankful for, for her friendship and love, and how my life was changed because of her. I am also comforted that I will see her again. For anyone reading this, remember to tell those around you that you love them, and take every moment you can to spend that quality time with those you love. Because you never know when it will be taken away.
Life is precious and we only get one shot at it, so...
"Be strong in the Lord, never give up hope...God's got his hand on you, so don't live life in fear.
Take time and pray. His Love will find a way. These are the words I would say..." Side walk prophets
