Grief
Sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed
Romans 8:18

There is a river of divine grace flowing beneath all your need. Under your deepest sorrow mvoes My compassion and My love. In a very real sense, you fathom the depth of My own heart only to the extent that your heart is broken and your inmost consciousness torn asunder by the pain of grief. Never look upon trials and test and disciplines as being damaging. Whatever hurt they seem to bring is outweighed by the blessing that follows.

What ever you are facing today, you have a choices, accept what God has allowed or is doing, or be bitter.  God wants to use the trials that we face, to draw us to him, even what seems so terrible can be of use by God, and we will see the hand of God move in our midst.

Yesterday we were in Grand Forks, Dad had a check up doesn't need to come back for 6 months for a stress test, they are taking him off of plavix.  We ate with our family in the area, and then did a bit of shopping and came home, it was a beautiful day.
