Dear Barbara ... Though Florida is our primary residence, for 5 months each year we live at our beach house on Fire Island. During that period of time, whenever I come to the mainland I am pulled to drive by the (our) house on Woodland drive where we lived for 26 years. On the way there, I drive by your residence, and always think of you and Michael. R.I.P. Michael.

Dear Lord,
Please help them in this time of loss and overwhelming grief. Though they don't understand why their lives are filled with this pain and heartache may they turn my eyes to you as they seek to find the strength to trust in your faithfulness. May they wait on you and not despair; May they quietly wait for your salvation. Their hearts are crushed, but may they know that you will not abandon them forever. Please show them your compassion, Lord. Help them through the pain so that they will hope in you again. Allow them to believe this promise in your Word to send them fresh mercy each day. Though they can't see past today, allow them to trust your great love will never fail each and everyone of them.
Amen.
