I love the 23rd Psalm and in verse one it says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." David wrote this and he knew who God was to him. It is good to read about lives of others throughout the Bible. It gives hope and inspires our daily lives. We don't know how our lives with change from one day to another. The chapter is one that is often read at funerals or life celebrations of others. It remains the same in my heart who God gives us rest and helps to know that goodness and mercy follows us all the day of our lives.
Ecclesiastes 3 New International Version (NIV)A Time for Everything3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Keep your eyes focus on what is true. God does bring us through things and we know there is a time to be born and a time to die. We don't like the time to die part because we loose loved ones living on earth with us. Yesterday marked 45 years of my dad being in Heaven. The day took me back to thoughts, being 18 years old ago and the struggle of that day. You would think it goes away but nothing go aways with those we truly love. We live through experiences to help others and show compassion during their hard season. Acts of kindness goes so far and it's okay to mourn those we lost on earth. They are forever in our hearts, minds and part of us.
I hope you can feel my caring heart through this blog of hope. God is able to handle your now and able to bring you through anything you face with a greater peace. There is a time for all things, but God is right there through it all. My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
