Wish You Were Here

I woke up this morning feeling:

Sad
Heavy
Regretful
Disappointed
Overwhelmed

Today would have been my Daddy's 71st birthday.  

I miss him.

I grieve the loss of him in my life.

I wish that I had done things differently - like call him more often or make a big deal of his birthdays.

I regret that it has been months since I spoke with Donna and Cecily.

I am disappointed in myself.

I feel overwhelmed by all the happenings around me.

But as I sat down with my Bible and prayer journal, I was reminded that:

God is still on His throne.
Jesus' yoke is easy and His burden is light.
I am forgiven.
God is good...all the time.
The Holy Spirit never leaves me alone.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Amen!
