Just for today.....

Verse..... "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Psalm 37:5




Thought for today... Think of the things you do not worry about. Perhaps you never worry about whether you will be able to get water out of the faucet in your kitchen, or maybe you do not worry about a tree falling on your house. Now ask yourself why you do not worry about such things. Is it because in the case of running water, it has always been there every time you wanted it, or that a tree has never fallen on your house before? Certainty breeds trust, doesnt it?



We can be just as certain and just as worry free about God's love and protection, and provision because he has never gone back on a single one of his promises. He never changes. Great is His faithfulness. (Billy Graham)

Poem...

Just For Today



Just for today, I will try to live through the next 24 hours...not expecting to get over my child's death, but learning to live with it...one day at a time

Just for today, I'll remember my child's life, not his death, and bask in the comfort of the treasured days and moments we shared.


Just for today, I will forgive all the family and friends who didn't help or comfort me the way I needed them to. They truly did not know how.


Just for today, I will reach out to comfort a relative or friend of my child. For they are hurting too, and perhaps we can help each other.


Just for today, I will free myself from my self-inflicted burden of guilt. For deep in my heart, I know if there was anything in this world I could have done to save my child from death, I would have done it.

Just for today, I will honor my child's memory by doing something with another child, be it my own, or someone else's, because I know that would make my child proud.


Just for today, I will offer my hand in friendship to other bereaved parents, fo I DO know how they feel.


Just for today, I will smile...no matter how much I hurt on the inside...for maybe if I smile a little, my heart will soften and I will begin to heal.


Just for today, I will allow myself to be happy and enjoy myself, for I know I am not deserting my child by moving on.



Just for today, I will accept that I did NOT die when my child did. My life did go on and I am the ONLY one who can make that life worthwhile again.
