I keep a journal of quotes. Do you? I highly recommend it. Reading them at night when you can't sleep can bring laughter, tears, or just quiet contemplation.
This one popped out at me...
"For in our suffering, not apart from it, Jesus enters our sadness, takes us by the hand, pulls us gently up to stand, and invites us to dance. We find the way to pray, as the psalmist did, "You have turned my mourning into dancing" (Psalm 30:11), because at the center of our grief we can find the grace of God." -- Dr. David Jeremiah
I remember writing that one down when Dad was dying. I'm glad I did because we have a dear lady in our church who is now in hospice care. I wanted something meaningful to share with her daughter. I believe God gave me this when I needed it most, but also knowing that I would share it with Laurie. How AWESOME is God??!!
