It has been a busy day. I am beginning to feel better and it is not quite so hard to make it through the day. Physically that is … mentally I am still trying to process everything. The news about the upcoming arrival of my first grandchild has still got me reeling.
I got a wonderful note from my Aunt today. She has walked this same road with one of her children and knows the mixture of conflicting emotions that I am being assailed by. It was so encouraging to reflect on her journey and how the family gathered round and loved and supported each other and how well her daughter is doing today. She also reminded me what a joy that unexpected and unplanned grandchild has been to her. Her reminder means so much to me and it reminds me of what a difference time and perspective can bring.
The reality is that God will bring me through this. He will enable me to be what I need to be. He will give me the courage, the wisdom and the perspective that will be needed in the days ahead. I ….. just need to love. That is a job I can handle.
