At a loss...

When the pain surfaces and the shock grips your effort to inhale, desperation is evident. Lacking answers and desperate to know “Why?” shakes the very strongest of footholds loose. The loss of a gem is tragic but losing and not understanding is horrific.

My tear stained pillow marks these tortured days and my mind races with (I just want to see your smile, I want to hug you. I wish I would have known your pain.) If I knew I could have leaned in and whispered. “It will be ok.” 

In the storm this is when Jesus reaches down and wipes your tears. When it’s raining this is when your family surrounds you and your carried forthright into the light.

I am ever so grateful for my CVCS family and friends. Never could we have taken another step in these dark days without taking the hand of the person next to us, and whispering …“It will be ok.”

"Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." John 13:7
