letting go

Letting go hurts, but knowing someone is headed to Heaven helps ease the pain.  My dad is still in the transition phase of going to Heaven.  As he moves from the life to the next, the pain increases as well as the beauty.  Life is truly a mosaic of grace.  We take broken pieces and put them together to create something beautiful.  If it wasn't for the broken pieces, there wouldn't be a full mosaic.  It is also like stained glass windows.  Each individual piece provides one color, but all the pieces together provide something stunning and breathtaking to look at and stand under.  My dad is still working toward his new home.  Grief hurts more than death.  One thing remains above all, God is sovereign.  Much love and many blessings.  Remember God loves and likes you #rglaly

disengage

Sometimes we must disengage from the busyness of life and find peace in the ordinary and still times.  The stillness can be frightening, however, when we are  not used to it.  We fall into the trap of going and going and going, that we are uncomfortable with just being still and disengaging from static. Sometimes the beauty is truly in just being still for a few minutes and listening too the sounds of nothing, or nature, or just breathing.  Sometimes it is in that silence that peace is loud and overwhelming.  I have found myself running and going so much that I forgot to disengage and be still and just be for a while.  When I finally disengaged and stood still for a bit, I found I could hear and listen so much better than  before.  Still waters after the storm provide comfort.  Today, amidst the busyness of life, I will stop and disengage long enough to hear and just be a bit.  Much love and many blessings.  Remember God loves and likes you.
