"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered - how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." Psalm 39:4-5
My greatest treasure of all - God's amazing love. This is what holds me up; especially on the really hard days when we are having to do some really hard stuff.......like unpacking Carter's things that have been packed away for two years. God's amazing love and goodness. It is He who holds me up. Thank You, Father!
"And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you." Psalm 39:7
I spent the entire weekend in Carter's clothes, looking through his old school days, and looking at his little earthly treasures. I smelled every piece of his clothing, hoping and trying to find his smell.....just a tiny, tiny bit of his beautiful Carter smell. I remember it. I miss him so much. The difficult journey of a grieving parent is a heavy load. But with God by our side, He will carry us through and hold us up until we are all together once again.
Bless the Lord, o my soul - I'll worship Your holy name.
Heavenly Father, help me to use my pain for Your glory.

My prayers still go out o you Nicole, Chad and Bradley. I have not forgotten your loss. I cannot imagine the pain. May God walk with you every day.
