Anniversaries Hurt
Anniversaries are supposed to be a celebration, Lord,
but these arent happy anniversaries.
We miss our boy.
As the anniversary date of his death draws near, I thought of a weeping text.
Jeremiah 31:15, NLT, speaks of mothers mourning for their children
because they were no more.
I can relate.
Shedding tears of grief has been a common practice for thousands
of years because we share a planet with an
enemy whose entire focus is death.
I am learning not to stop there, but to read on: But God says,
Stop your incessant weeping, hold back your tears
Theres hope for your children.
Jeremiah 31:16-17, MSG
When this text came to my mind today, Lord, it was as if You placed
Your strong hand gently on my shoulder and breathed
comfort and peace into my sorrowful soul.
Yes, we still have tears, but we also have reasons for joy.
Your Word says that Your eyes are on those who hope in Your unfailing love.
So we hopefully wait for You, Lord, our Help and our Shield.
Psalm 33:18 & 20, NIV, paraphrased
