Many times, readers and friends will say that they are overwhelmed, disillusioned, and feeling like they can’t catch a break. They’re saying, “what about me?” Or, I’m not where I thought I’d be. […]

there are many life experiences i never thought i would ever have, that i have enjoyed. we have been more fortunate than either of our parents and had a long marriage instead of having our marriage cut short by heart attacks of our fathers.

but we have also met some very challenging times as well. i’m also thankful for the Father’s care during those hard times. blessings to you as you adjust to your recent loss.

It’s hard to see God’s hand in the mess that 2020 is, and your reminder that He wants us to lean on Him is especially timely. All of us are grieving something this year; to hear such wisdom in the midst of your very personal grief for your father is a gift.
