I'm Back!!

First of all, I want to thank all of you, especially Tracee for your support and prayers during my recent absence from this blog. Many of you know that my granfather passed away recently and getting back into the groove of things has not been easy. Thank you Tracee, for everything; your love, prayers, support, understanding and for taking on some of my responsibilities in my absence.

As I have reflected on this period of time, all the love, support, compassion and encouragement, I realize that this is what we as Christians are supposed to do, how we are to react. For some of us, compassion is like a second nature, yet for others, we have to work at it. God has opened my eyes recently to death and how the world deals with it - alone. There are those who don't have that love, support, encouragement - compassion. Death to some is depressing - dark - overwhelming - deep - cloudy. Death to others is life - celebration - encouraging - enlightening - clear. The second is how it should be and I can't imagine death without life - Life of our Father.

In Ecclesiastes 3:4, it talks about the fact that there is a time for every season and it reads, "A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance." it also says in Romans 12:15, "Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep."

Thank you - for letting Christ shine through you, and work within you. You never will know the capacity in which you will touch another's life.
