Friday Feelings: Goodbyes

 


One week ago today, I was up early, driving to a hospital to pray with a church member before surgery. One week later, I’m up early, sitting in the stillness to pray before saying a final earthly goodbye to my dad.

                This week has been a strange one. I’ve cried, certainly. But I’ve also felt the strength that comes from the prayer support of so many. I’ve kept busy, not because I’m afraid of feeling the feelings, but because I genuinely believe this is how Dad would prefer I spend my time.

                I don’t have a lot of words today, and that’s okay. I invite you to pray with me for Mom…for strength for this day. I invite you to pray with me for the Gospel message to be heard above all.

                Thank you, friends. I’ve not been able to respond to messages like I would prefer, but I’m reading them all and thankful for each one.
