To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven... A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

Ecclesiastes 3:1,4





Grief is like a season in many ways. It goes through stages, each with its own special characteristics. Some of these characteristics are brutal; others are comforting. But like the seasons, grief eventually gives way to sorrow, to acceptance, to understanding, even to joy for the time we had with the one we lost. A wise woman also knows that grief does pass with time. In your time of grief the Lord will be with you. He will hold you up with His mighty arms until you can stand on your own once more. Lord, hasten the passing of this season of grief.
