Forever Reminding Me ~

A Way In Remembering Grief That Is Not Wrong

j.r. miller

There is a way of remembering grief and a submission

to sorrow  __ I believe that is not wrong, that brings rich blessings

into our soul, hearts and lives.  In our humanizing sorrow,  if rightly accepted 

  yielding  our submission and
acceptance of grief that will grace our souls and strengthen our hearts.

There is also.....

 a way of remembering grief and sorrow, which brings no blessings, no enrichment -

and does not soften our heart or add beauty to our life.  This  is an

un-submissive acceptance of
 remembering which brings no joy, and will only keep the heart 

bitter, and shuts out the sunshine of life.  When allowing the heart to continually

brood over losses and trials, only evil can result from such a memory of continued
anguish of  grief and pain. 

Ecclesiastes 3: reminds us there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to

keep and a time to let go.  Scripture teaches us to leave our sorrows behind us and

reverently, faithfully and quietly go on in our appointed way.  May the Lord teach

 and help us not to perpetually live in the shadows of  our griefs, losses of bygone days. 

And may his grace engrave into the deepest part of our souls...... . . . . .
  "Forever Reminding Me" I am never alone, left, forgotten or forsaken. ~
