Making lemonade out of the lemons we've been dealt lately ...

God in His infinite mercy loves us through the times of sorrow.  And we've had many sorrows this last month or so ...

• a baby died shortly after child-birth
• a 14-yo boy drowned
• my brother, six weeks before his 50th birthday, died
• a 3-month-old little boy died of SIDS during his afternoon nap

There are many other sorrows hitting our online community recently -- sickness, accidents, troubles -- and we all "know" each other and feel the pain for each other ... but what else can we do?  Some set up funds to help the grieving families .... some put together wonderful memorials ... some just stay busy and pray and try to help out as much as possible ...

But, God is Love and helps us get through these days ... we band together ... we cry and pray and remember ... and we love those at home just a bit more ... hugging our babies, children, husbands and fathers just a bit tighter ... praying for their safety and sanctity.  And we pray for all those hurting and grieving and mourning their loved ones ... but God will comfort and they are in a better place.

 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew 5:5
