A Day In The Life: lost

lost

A friend from work just wrote something that rang true for me. You know when someone you love dies? Your heart is broken and you feel so many things. Time goes on and you still feel so much. Well, my words escape me so often. When I stumbled across what Katie wrote, well, what she wrote is so perfectly. I want to share it here so that I can look back on it when my words leave me again.

"Remember when you where a kid and you would be lost or separated from your parent and you would kind of sit down in one spot or just stay in the same place you lost them? Remember that feeling? Knowing they will come back and find you and you'll be all safe again. It feels like that. Except my head knows my Dad's not coming back but my heart keeps feeling like he is.

That's what is feels like." Katie Lopez Kansas City MO October 2019 After the loss of her father

Sometimes I find myself thinking that I will tell Sheri this or Bobby that or Aunt Rita this or Grandma that and then I remember that they aren't here. Death sucks. I can't wait until Jesus comes back and there are no more tears.

Prayer List

Thank you Father thank you.
Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
God please guide the leaders of the world.
