Lighting the Way

5/23/2017

In the last year, I’ve known several families that have suffered the loss of a child--the most recent occurring just this week.  Whether that child was an infant, toddler, teen or adult is irrelevant…a child is a child.  I don’t know why these things happen or why hearts are broken and lives shattered.  I don’t know why parents and siblings are left to pick up their broken lives, which will forever be jagged because one final piece will never be recovered.   I do, however, know that the Bible tells us in Revelation 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”  So to all the families who have been traveling on the dark and uncertain road to recovery for a while, and to all those who are just starting down that difficult path, my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you.  My family is also on this road.  While on this journey, I have discovered two lights.  One is illuminating the way for us from those who have gone before.  The other is the light we extend to those that follow.  Together, we will all make it out of the dark.
