Today is a brand new day, yet when our hearts are hurting
nothing seems to feel right. The thrill of unwrapping the
gifts of a new day isn’t there, and our hearts seem to fill
with only loneliness and pain. We are left wondering when
we will get our enthusiasm back for life. When will our
joy return? When will we be filled with a song in our heart?
Grief is a hard word to say, and it is even more difficult to
understand. When grief knocks on the door of our heart we
know it is there because we can feel the raw pain that so
suddenly overtook us. However, grief leaves us very
slowly and we often don’t realize that our unwelcome guest
is inching its way out of the door of our heart until is has
been replaced by the wonderful blessing of hope.
Every time we look at a butterfly or the colors of a rainbow,
we take one step closer to hope. Each time we feel the warmth
of the sunshine upon our face, we grow closer to recognizing
the miracle of a brand new day. For every flower that we see
bloom, we push aside one sad thought and allow space for a
bright, new thought of hope to visit our heart.
Grief is a difficult journey, but we have not been left alone.
God has placed his signature of hope in the morning sky,
in the twinkling of the evening stars, and in every soft
whisper of the wind. He has given us the assurance of
His love by showing us all of His creation. He is our
Shepherd, and we are His sheep. His tender care will
carry us through every dark valley into the green pastures
where we will find rest and replenishment.
Hope is alive, and every day we are receiving the gift of
hope. One day we will wake up with a song on our heart
and we will know for sure that hope has arrived! --C. Hinton
