I wish

I wish.  I wish I could save you from every hurt.  I wish I could save you from the pain that your parents delivered to you.  I wish I could save you from the results of some of your choices.  I wish I could save you from illness.  I wish I could save you from rejection.  I wish I could help you not worry about your children.  I wish I could wipe away the pain.

I wish it was that easy.  But it isn't.

We are going to hurt.  We are going to be hurt.
So since I can't fix it for you, let me wish for you what I wish for myself.
Take a little time, as little as possible to be mad.  Then move on and start to process what happened.  Make it your goal to move through the situation rather than being stuck.
Keep working on it.

I wish I could fix it for you but since I can't let me encourage you to keep going.  Keep your chin up.  Keep plugging along.  Life has it's hurts.  We just need to decide how we will respond to them.  Don't let them eat your lunch.  Life is still good.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
