    Have been mired in personal issues this summer.
    Three months ago, my step daughter died. My wife did not take it well, and has been grieving her loss. Well, she come down sick with what she called the flue. It turned out to be C-Diff. and she got septic with it. She passed on the tenth.
    Enough ? Nope! Got the call that my Dad passed this morning.

    That is my personal three, and I pray that will be enough for a wile.

    Can be hard in the short run, at least I know I’ll see my family on the other side...

    let me add this
    "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal." Isaiah 35:10. There will come a time when you can be reunited.

    Well, that sucked for you. Too close to you and too close together outside what we saw in the pandemic.

    I will certainly add you to my prayer list.

    Growing up I learned life has no guarantees, taking God's mercy for granted is a serious mistake. and putting off God till the last moment is not wise.
    God made man with a free will and He won't defy this design. God loves man but this love does not cause Him to compromise His holiness. As a parent I know the pain of watching my children making bad decisions, in spite of the instruction I had given them. Imagine the frustration God has over His creation.
    I have endured many losses all through my life and I do not take this life for granted. I repented my rebellion and asked Jesus into my heart at age 7, God has held me in is hand ever sense. (I am now 74) I need His intervention in my life every day, and it's fun when I see it . If you let Him, He will bring you through this and many more similar events.
    I pray you accept this in the love that is intended.
