"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you"
I absolutely love the song "Smile". I love the version that Lyle Lovett does.
As much as I love that song I really do wish it was that easy. I wish I could just put a smile on my face and will myself to be happy. It's not that way at all. I think that is what is so hard for many people to understand. This sadness and grief feels up all of my day, my thoughts and even my sleep. Yes, I have good moments. Yes, I have good days now. I can chat about things and talk about other topics with people. "It" just never goes away.
I really don't need to be on here right now. I have a hundred things that I need to do today. Hopefully I will get up and have some energy. I am very sore from the P90X workout last night. I'm not looking forward to doing it again tonight but it has to be done.

Congratulations on doing the P90X. One of the Elders in our church, a friend of ours has been doing it. He says it is so challenging but he is really seeing results. I am inspired and hope to at least walk more often. I;m not quite to the P90X level yet!
ReplyDeletePlease know that I am still praying and that I realize that any attempt to point toward something other than the grief and sorrow that you are experiencing can seem insensitive. Please know that most of those people have a sincere loving heart. The body of Christ so wants to gather around you via touch, phone and those like me electronically and hopefully all through prayer.
We want to point you to your reason for hope, Christ. All the while wanting to respect the life of your son and your sorrow in losing him. I feel bold even speaking of it. Only those that have experienced the death of a child can begin to know what you are experiencing.
I am one that bears others burdens and yours is heavy on my heart.
In Prayer,
Misty
