Dear Tripete, (and all who are ill)
*Please, be gentle with yourself...For Christians, Jesus set the example: He wept; He asked for the cup to be taken from Him; He spent time alone in the wilderness to renew His spirit.
*There is no condemnation in feeling sorry that we are ill; that we have difficult days; that we weep for ourselves or those we love, or those who care for us.
*Remember the Beatitudes: “Jesus taught them… (3) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (4) Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
*Mourning is part of the way we cope with loss, whatever it may be. It is a path we pass along. Some days, when we feel overwhelmed, we step back upon it. That’s all right. Cry, scream, roll on the floor... embrace the moment, then let it pass.
*Rise, wash your face, take a deep breath, begin again,
and remember: God was holding you all the time. He will walk with you every step of the way, and with all who believe.
May blessings abound. B.
