So for the past month I haven't written any blog posts due to a death in the family and being so busy with related matters. My grandfather died and I would really appreciate any prayers y'all would say for our family, especially my grandmother.
Individuals who have family - even just one family member - I want you to know that you are lucky. Some people don't have anybody. I know that the timing of my grandfather's death was the perfect will of God, but it doesn't completely ease the pain of one less love in my life. I don't believe it is supposed to. We have a natural longing to be a part of a family.
Take note on something very important though - family doesn't necessarily mean just people related to you. Family means caring for one another, loving them no matter what. So if you have a "friend family" or a church family you are very lucky.
There are some who think they have have no one. But I want you to know you do. God is the only family you need. Father and daughter, hand in hand, and you have the absolute BEST family relationship you could ever ask for. You will spend eternity together, He will protect you, guide you, carry your burdens, listen to you, speak to you, and LOVE you.
So if you have lost a loved one recently, like I have... I know what you are going through. But I am here to tell you that a relationship with God can give you peace. You won't always be happy. You won't always have good days. But you will know where you are going, and Who you will be spending eternity with. If you are following Christ already then just lean on Him. Why have you not done that already?
Love y'all,
Megan
