Beautiful Words
My sister-in-law's family suffered a great loss recently, and today they were memorializing their lost loved one. My sister-in-law and my niece posted beautiful thoughts in memory of her. This is all we can do as humans when faced with tragedy. Feel for each other, grieve for one another, pray for each other and hope that our words can bring some comfort. I pray for them and their family, and I found God today in their beautiful words.

I am so sorry for the sudden loss in my sister-in-law's family. My ex-brother-in-law is very sick right now and I am sorry for what he and his wife and kids are going through. Every time a tragedy occurs which touches lives within my circle I feel so bad for the ones who are suffering and wonder how they can cope with something so difficult. Lately I think I've heard God tell me how it might be possible, and it reminds me of something my brother once said. My brother once told me after a softball game in which I made multiple errors "remember the greatest catch you ever made and realize that you are at least that good". I think God is saying to me now "remember a time when you showed strength and courage in helping others who were suffering, or in dealing with your own suffering, and realize that you are at least that strong and courageous". I hope I hear God saying that to me the next time tragedy strikes close to home and I am called upon to help others and myself.
