Thank you Lord for a good night's sleep. Thank you too for TylenolPM! Thank you Steve for the mountain streams CD. Sleep is a wonderful thing. I feel much more hopeful, right now anyway. It is natural to want to get back to "normal".
But I am beginning to realize that I will never get back to "normal". People who have been through deep grief are telling me at least two things: 1. it will take a long time not to hurt so much 2. there will always be a hurt but it just won't be so painful, so debilitating as it is now.
Its good to know what to expect. And perhaps it is not so bad to always carry with me a degree of soberness and an ever present yearning for heaven and for the presence of the Lord as I go forward with my life and ministry. In talking to Gayle, the other night, she said something similar. She said that her circumstances right now, with all of the ongoing uncertainties are KEEPING her in "a good place" in that she has found a continual refreshing well spring of life as she digs deep into the Lord and into His Word finding there peace and so many treasures of Truth.
"The end of all things is at hand, therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer" I Peter 4:7
