"To Everything there is a season..."

My husband and I traveled to Morrison, Colorado on Saturday December 26th to visit with Jason and Christopher - I anticipated being a strong, rock-solid Christian; ready to take-on whatever God had in store for me. Ready to be strong for Jason (my son-in-law) who has struggled with the reason that God took Robin home so soon; for Christopher who talks about his mommy being in heaven, and not understanding why she doesn't come home. Upon arriving at their home, I was flooded of memories of Robin. Unfortunately, they were sad memories of the struggles she had this past year; the struggle to breathe, the struggle to gain weight, the struggle to fight off infection; and I could go on. I realized how frail my emotions are and that I was not going to be the strong rock Jason and Christopher needed! I looked forward to going to church this morning, first of all for comfort from my Heavenly Father through His Word and teaching, and second to visit those who were such a blessing to Robin. When the first person said "how are you? how was your Christmas? Was it hard?" I fell apart and remained that way for the rest of the day. God is showing me how weak I really am, He is showing me that I need to cry and cry often. He has told us in His Word "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under Heaven...A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.."
I am weeping and mourning - I look forward to laughing and dancing again. It may not be until I meet Jesus, but I am sure of one thing; His promises are true and I choose to believe them!! I pray your new year will be filled with laughing, dancing and singing!

Blessings to you, and don't forget to hug your daughter!
