This picture totally exemplifies me; a mother in mourning trying to live again; the tree woman is dead on one side and alive and blooming on the other. My dear friend Tina purchased this picture for me. It was created by an artist in her church. So thankful for such a precious gift and the blessing of her friendship.
The last 24 hours has been a challenge for me; grief once again nipping at my heels. Blessings and messages have been coming through so strong. Yesterday, I glanced over and saw in big letters on a license plate the word "Jay". Then Jay's best friend sent me a picture of Jay's memorial where they had placed beautiful aqua blue orbs in memory of Jay's crystal blue eyes and solar lights; my Jay is loved. Then today, the repair man for my dishwasher spoke of his grandson and showed me a picture. My heart said; ask what his name is for I knew it would have something to do with Jay. It did; we call him JJ he said - omg I said out loud JayJay is one of my son's nicknames. Then Tina sends me this picture of the painting she bought for me; comfort in a storm.
My God sends me comfort when the sorrow paralyzes me on this journey called "grief".
Bible Verse: Jeremiah 31:13
I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
