Each of us experience many mountain tops and valleys in our lives. Each of us process our highs and lows in different ways. God is a gracious and loving God especially during a time such as these. Today I would ask for those that read this to share a prayer for my brother (Philip) and our family. On Wednesday we lost his daughter to an auto accident and While I would not normally share such on Facebook I feel a strong need to request those prayers for my brothers family. Prayers for strength, comfort, peace, hope and understanding of this great loss. Jennifer Lynn will be missed by her family as she leaves behind two daughters and a grandchild that will carry on her memory. Strength comes from our Lord and my prayer is HE touches each of our family with His loving saving Grace and in the days ahead that he carries each one through this time of grief and then plants each ones feet on solid ground to carry forward the memories that Jennifer gave us and to Glorify God for his goodness and strength. For my family during this time Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:6-8 These are scriptures that I lean on daily- I read them and hide them in my heart. I look for things to thank God for- sometimes it is just the air I breathe. Sometimes it is to make it through another day. Seek something, no matter how small it is, to praise God for. Focus on anything in your life that is good rather than the bad. There is peace that passes all understanding. The calmness and serenity it provides is indescribable and will protect your heart and mind from the onslaught of grief that seems unbearable.
