Thank you Beth Moore

I'm almost finished with Beth Moore's So Long, Insecurity. I arrived home from the funeral today and decided to rest and read for a few minutes. This is the passage that I started with:

God has promised that His grace will be given according to our need and that not only will we survive by the skin of our teeth, if we trust Him and hang on to Him for dear life--grieving, yes, but as those who have hope--we will also thrive again. We can give ourselves to something greater than painlessness. We can give ourselves to purpose. If we cooperate, good will indeed come to us and others around us, and glory will most assuredly come to God. Otherwise, He would have forbidden the tragedy. Those of us who are in Christ will also spend eternity with the loved ones who have shared our faith, and this life will seem like a vapor in comparison.

That, along with the loving service today, was just what I needed.
