Mourning Our Daily Losses

I've recently been faced with mourning the loss of my father, again. I didn't grow up with my father. I lived with him briefly the summer before starting high school. We were not close when he died over 10 years ago. I didn't want to go to the funeral and I remember being so angry at him for taking his own life. A wise mentor and friend told me at that time, "Go, you will mourn this loss at different stages in your life. Go, or you will regret it." So, I went. Looking back now, I am glad I did.

Burden Bearer

“Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…..rest for your souls.” – Matthew 11:28-30

Soak that in, mediate on those words.

Imagine spiritual rest. What does it looks like for you? Spiritual rest is what Christ desires for us.
