There is a song from the 1970's by the Chi-lites, "I see her face everywhere I go, on the streets and even at the picture show, have you seen her..."
Lately I have been seeing her face, and his face. The faces, the hair, the body shape of friends that have passed in the last few years. It is actually painful. I see this person, and my brain says, "oh, there is _____." I look harder. And my brain reminds me that they are gone. 😢
But for a moment, they were here again. I miss them. Why did they have to leave? I don't know. It sure hurts to lose those whom we love.
But this hurt is not the end. In times of pain it is important to remember that we have a place to go. We have a loving Father. And, he holds the whole wide world in his hands, even me.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
