It was 3 years ago tomorrow that I shared by birthday with hundreds of family and friends as we gathered to remember the precious life of sweet baby Trey. To be greeted and embraced at such a sad time was the most precious gift of love! :)
It is amazing to realize that even in this busy, frantic culture in which we live, people still practice the tradition of honoring those who have passed away by gathering to comfort the grieving at funerals. The universal languages of love and tears cross over barriers, lift us up and unite us.
Trials, grief, worry, fear, and stress tend to isolate us. We crawl in to our cocoons and try and shield ourselves from the world around us. But what if we opened up, allowed our friends and loved ones in, and asked God to work through them? The blessings increase! The burdens lessen! Even a little joy can be found! :)
"Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
