I am writing a different request today. Close friends lost their 20 year old son Friday night, a suicide, found in his bedroom, sitting on the floor, a cord between his neck and the doornob. There were no warning signs. We feel we know those closest to us, but there is still that one hidden pocket we don't know about. Give extra hugs to those surrounding you today, utter the words, "I love you." Take them out to lunch. Hold their hands. Look into their eyes as they speak and you speak. Admire something important to them even though it may not be important to you.
If you know a family losing someone, sit down and write out a memory to mail off to them, letting them be buried in treasured memories, looking back upon them during the rough road ahead. Pray for those you love. Ask God to let them feel His blessings, as it can be a time to question them, though you and I know He is there to provide comfort and care. Pray they will feel God's peace and His grace as they move from hour to hour and day to day in all of the months ahead. This is a devout family, yet even the most devout can fall apart and ask how come.
For all of this, I thank you, and may God Bless You with his everlasting peace.
