Today marks the 6 month anniversary of losing Kristen. To wake up today and hear the irony of the Tsunami in Japan and all the lives lost there, was surreal. Kristen passed on a day that lives in infamy as a day of mourning, September 11th, and here six months later we have another day of mourning for many. It reminds me that though my loss is devastating, I am not alone. Millions mourn the loss of loved ones. It makes me thankful that one day death will no longer sting. Jesus promises us that.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the gift of Kristen's life. My heart aches with the devastation of her loss. I take great comfort in knowing that she is with you. Thank you for taking away her pain and suffering. Lord, it is hard being left behind. Thank you for the confidence I have that one day we will be reunited. Thank you also for being my comfort. I know you will bind up my broken heart and turn my mourning to joy. Amen
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
