Promises.

"I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not in vain

That morn shall tearless be."

-George Matheson

I'm studying grief and death in one of my classes,

which basically means that I cry

every time we have class.

Which is embarrassing...

Monday it was a man who lost the love of his life

2 months after his son committed suicide.

Yesterday it was a woman who lost her mom

before she could un-resolve the bitterness

Today in chapel it was a woman

who lost not one, but two, children

to a genetic disorder.

And they all say the same thing,

that through those tough trials

they were able to find joy.

Inexplainable joy.

God's promises.

Matthew 5:4-

God blesses those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

It doesn't make sense,

But then, it doesn't have to.
