Comfort

Comfort....

This year, for all of its changes, there have been so many who comforted also...

family, friends,strangers - God Himself, and using all these others to comfort our family, myself...

No, it hasn't been easy....there were and are times that are rough, a word, a smell, an event, little things that bring a flood of memories, ......but the comfort has been there also in those times.  

God promises joy InThe morning... Years ago after one of my miscarriages, I made a banner with a sunrise to remind myself that there is joy in the morning...but there can a joy through the mourning as well.  comfort...love...hugs...words of encouragement ....God's Word...

Who can we reach out to comfort in their lives,  this brings joy to our as well, ...purpose...

Comfort doesn't have to be in big packages, little things work just as well....and may be all we or others need....

Thank you for all your comfort In my life....
