I too lost my first born son when he was 24. It has been 13 years but your words brought back those grim days of grief. I also remember how much my sweet Savior comforted me and gave me hope that some day life would be full of joy again. I was not disappointed!! I too look forward to the day I will see my son again but in the mean time it has helped me to know that he sits at the feet of his Savior and mine.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424040133519699023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-1580426813806544992009-04-12T09:56:00.000-05:002009-04-12T09:56:00.000-05:00Amen, Michelle... to what you wrote in the post an...Amen, Michelle... to what you wrote in the post and the comments!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256281745796890125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-75125676762210052662009-04-11T18:50:00.000-05:002009-04-11T18:50:00.000-05:00Leslie,I don't write the account of my "upper room...Leslie,<BR/><BR/>I don't write the account of my "upper room" moments with Justin to remind anyone of my pain. It has long been soothed by the Comforter. I write it because in the deepest moments of despair we have a God who so relates to what we have been going through. So vividly. To remind them God does not miss a moment of our agony and that He even allowed those who walked closest to Him in the flesh to experience the surreal and utter dismay at the onset of death when one is so loved. So senseless... The loss so profound.<BR/><BR/>All our losses are gain and the message of Easter is that He's Alive. Thank you for your sweet words and the reminders of His promise. One still alive more than 2,000 years after that fateful day.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192231917797056935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-42213877346995632972009-04-11T17:40:00.000-05:002009-04-11T17:40:00.000-05:00I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

And I am so glad taht we know ahead of time what the disciples didn't know. It's Friday...but Sunday is coming. What a day it will be to be reunited with your son. I know you would rather have him here longer too...at least as Christian we have that assurance! Blessings to you this Easter. May the grace of God and the peace of Christ wrap itself around your spirit. Where O death is your victory? Where O death is your sting? For we have the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord!luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.com
