A Griever's Lament ~ God's Response
I am told to take life one step at a time, but it is so dark, I can’t see the chasms to my right or left and I am afraid to move forward. It feels like each day I am stumbling in the dark, which leaves my emotions bruised and battered. When sorrow is my constant companion, how am I to wake up and enter into the activities of “normal” people?
An Empty Chair, or Not
Without their son, Robbie, how could they step into Thanksgiving and survive? This year would be different, just the closest of their family was gathering. She was asked only to set the table. The rest of the family would bring the traditional menu. Right now, she is sure that making gravy would have been easier on her than setting the table. Robbie would not be sitting with them. What should she do? Set his place or not. The tears wouldn’t stop.
