The Final Act of LoveSample

Acceptance: to endure without protest or reaction

Let me start out by saying, no matter how long it has been since someone we love passes, we will never forget. Things have changed, we have changed, and we learn how to adapt to the new version of life that has been laid before us. Day by day we find peace and the strength to move forward. 

We never replace, but we work to recover the pieces of our lives and hearts that allow us to continue to live. When I say live, I don’t mean simply existing but intentionally walking out the days that we are still graced to see. We start to view time differently and reassess the value of those around us. We become able to acknowledge that although life will never be the same, it can still be good. Our hearts will always long for their presence, but our souls will rest in the knowledge that our reunion is inevitable. We will indeed see them again and that is all due to the resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

God, I ask right now that you cover every heart that is reading this plan. God, you see the hurt, the pain, the anxiety, hopelessness, and brokenness. You are the only one that can bring comfort in this time. Bring joy to the mourning heart, faith to the hopeless, peace to anxiety, and be a healing balm for the pain. For those who are having trouble sleeping, we ask right now that you give them rest. For those who are deep in throes of depression, I stand and agree that their hearts will be lifted and with renewed meaning and purpose begin to illuminate their hearts and minds. Even in the downtime, I ask that you set their focus on your blessed hope and that they find solace in the hope of that great day when they will reunite with those who have gone before them. I pray all this is in the name of Jesus. Amen
