Synopsis

Have you just lost a spouse or loved one? Are you frustrated because you are not in control, and those relationships that you cherished are no more? Is each day meaningless without your partner? Are you angry because you think God took your loved one away from you? Are you afraid? God may be answering your prayers but you may not be able to receive the message. In communicating with God, whatever is received by you is received according to your disposition, not God’s. If you are spiritually depressed, you may not be able to pick up on what God has to say to you. If you are filled with hatred, envy, anger, rage, uncontrolled thoughts of betrayal, you may not be able to communicate until you calm down. Seek God’s peace. These gentle, meditative thoughts are for your reflection and healing. Some of us never calm down, so we cannot listen and learn. We keep our baggage been when we need to let it go and move on. Treat each of these pages as a meditation. Slowly think about the thoughts. Let God’s grace surround you. This book will give you some ideas to ponder, and a perspective with which to redirect your thoughts and enliven your spirit. Life goes on. The question is, will you go along with it, and add meaning to what remaining time you have left? Treat each page as a separate thought, a meditation on the idea at the top. Think critically about these ideas. Let God’s grace surround you. May all that you do, all that you learn, all your efforts be to the glory of God. Take your time, when reading this book. It will help you more than you can possibly imagine. You can turn your grieving into gain, if you know how.
