hope: we are not in a hopeless situation; yes, we grieve, but not as those who have no hope
love: we have been showered with so many expressions of love which speak to us in tangible ways of God's deep love for us
peace: underlying all the daily turmoil, there lies a deep peace - a peace that passes all understanding
joy: Chris Tomlin released a version of "Joy to the World" that we have been singing this season. I found the lyrics of the added refrain resonated deeply within:
Joy, unspeakable joy
An overflowing well, no tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
Rises in my soul, never lets me go
An overflowing well, no tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
Rises in my soul, never lets me go
4 simple words ...
4 deep truths ...

Hello Edith! I'm sorry I have not been stopping by more often... but you have been in my thoughts and prayers so often!!! I'm so glad to see you posting and sharing... this journey is not easy, yet God IS meeting you at your point of need, and will continue to fill you with more of Himself and the comfort He alone can give! I can't imagine going through this last Christmas season without your beloved, yet God has been Good... and I pray He continues to fill you to overflowing this more than you could ask or even think!!!
hugs and prayers,
Grace
