Our family received some bad news the other day. I don’t want to go into detail here because it isn’t only my story to tell, but I am sure that you can empathize without knowing the specifics.
The wind was knocked out of my sails and I was heartbroken.
I couldn’t fall apart when I got the call because of the little ones who were with me, so I put on my happy face and did my best-ever acting job for the next few hours.
When I was finally alone and could cry, I reached for my Bible for the words of my Comforter. I turned to Psalms and asked for my God to help me through this.
He led me to Psalm 73:23…….
“Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.”
That was just what I needed to hear. We were not forgotten. God would be there and help us through this trial.

We never know what a day will bring do we? Isn't it wonderful to know that He does, and His love is there for it too.

God is sooo good. He knows and answers our prayers and our heart's cry before we even pray or know our need. Trust you're feeling buoyed by his love and family. {hugs}
