You keep track of all my sorrows.     You have collected all my tears in your bottle.     You have recorded each one in your book.

Psalm 56:8 NLT

Hard days sometimes just take every little bit of energy to get through. I look around my family this week and my heart just hurts. My dearest Uncle Donnie is fighting cancer and I just want to scream why???? It hurts to see him suffer day by day, and it crushes my heart to hear my Aunt Patty say….”Lord just let me spend a little more time with him.” These are the moments just seem unbearable, unjust, questionable. These are the moments I just don’t understand.

So today I read Psalm 56:8 and realized ……. Yet once again that God is watching, God is collecting every tear and every moment of His children’s lives and recording the in His wondrous book. Although this time in my family’s life seem unbearable and unfair we do not walk alone. For He hath known the way with us…….Job 23:10 He knows every single aspect of our lives and he is just and he loves us enough to never every let us walk alone through these times.

Heavenly Father thank you so for walking with us through this difficult time. Our family has taken one blow after another…..and although we are knocked down we are not out, although we have been through the fire we have not been destroyed. Why???? Because of you. Thank you for giving us strength to face this time, thank you for the moments of laughter and the memories that will always be with us. And thank you so much for sitting next to my Uncle Donnie’s bed and never leaving his side. You are so good.

In Jesus name,

Amen
