It is written to love. It's not just mentioned in the bible; it is talked about and commanded of us throughout its writings.   "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4:16.    When we lose someone we love, it is painful, our hearts are broken. The ability to see God's purpose for our lives can be elusive. Letting go of a broken heart and giving the pain to God is ongoing. Slowly, we continue moving forward in moments, then in hours. The memories will live within us in a special place forever. So does Gods purpose for our lives of which will prevail. Keep seeking His face with the hope and strength God's love for us provides.   The memories throughout the times together can provide a form of wisdom. The laughter, the special moments, and the happiness are not gone because that special person is gone. You remain. The shared love revealed you. You are a special person.   " I don't know why; I don't know why we need to break so hard."? Because we love so deeply. What a blessing.   The message: 1. Go back in time and remember the love from the beginning to the last times you shared. 2. Remember how you smiled and felt happy. Remember the laughter. 3. Remember how it felt to love and how you shared yourself while creating such a special bond with someone. That is who YOU are. It came from within. . You love. You practice forgiveness. You smile. You feel happiness. Yes, that was your laughter. These are your attributes. They are very much ongoing. A special person is not in your life any longer, however you are still standing.   Stand up, and just keep walking.   "You're going to be ok."   Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4  “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” Proverbs 19:21

I turned and said, "Sweetheart, we will get through this." " We will come out the other side." Just keep walking requires much persistence. I was driving my 17-year-old granddaughter to school that morning. The questions I was asking her centered around who we would be when we reached the other side. Life is a journey. I have read that everyone is a leader. There is always someone out there observing and following in your footsteps. "Where are you going?" I asked her. Look at how you may be used to inspire others to keep walking. Before she went into the school, we sat and listened to a song. She loved the music and the Artist. I made arrangements that day for us to see Lauren Daigle perform at an upcoming event in six months. Little did I know, little did I know the impact that day would have on our lives. I would never have predicted the changes in our worlds between then and the concert. That is a whole story—one only the two of us share. I do not believe what unfolded was an accident or coincidence. Life puts you where you are, exactly where you are supposed to be when you choose to be a warrior. nan*
