“Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! – Matthew 6:22-23 NLT
In Matthew 6:22 it makes reference to your EYE….
Your Light is controlled by your EYE….
What do you find yourself watching on television?
Where are you surfing on the Internet?
What were the headlines on the magazines at the checkout line?
Do you find yourself getting numb to images that fill you with darkness? Pornography, war, murder, kidnappings, gangs, terrorism, violence for entertainment.
I did a survey the other day. It was regarding a new PSA. Our task was to tell how we felt about the organization before we saw the ad. Then what we felt after we saw the ad. It was literally a porn star doing a photo shoot basically nude. She was promoting animal rights.
I have to ask myself what do I want to LIGHT MY LAMP with….Good Light or Darkness?
What is lighting your Lamp?
This week I have chosen the Natalie Grant song, Safe. I love the vulnerability that she has in her voice. The lyrics of the song are shown in the YouTube video attached but take a minute to really read the Chorus.
“I’m not gonna hide
I’m not gonna run away
I’ll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love has mended my blisters
And my bruising shame
Now I, I’m not ashamed.
Here with you
I am safe”
Those words touch my soul.
I am safe. I am not ashamed.
God’s Grace is AWEsome.

She came in to tell me Good Night.
She has to be up early to catch the school bus.
As we were talking about the plan for tomorrow, she seemed a little sad.
I asked her if she was alright and she just nodded.
So I probed a little more and she started talking.
We talked about a lot of different subjects but there was a part of the conversation that tore a hole in my heart.
She asked me “Mom do you know why I say “I Love You” every time I come into or leave the room?”
Me…. “No, but I love to hear it.”
Her…. “Because I am afraid that something will happen and I will not have told you know that I love you.”
I realized that I had been selfish in my grieving. That at almost a year later my daughter’s heart was still broken over the loss of Grandpa. I didn’t realize that that loss had created this fear in her. I want to help her with the fear but…
I pray for many entrances and exits because I love to hear her say…
I Love You, Mommy!
Laughter can conceal a heavy heart,
but when laughter ends,
the grief remains. ~Proverbs 14:13
I lost my Father In Law last May. My friend lost her beloved Father In Law this weekend. As I was praying for her and her family tears stung my eyes. I had a momment of sadness for the pain I know their family is feeling.
Our family home has been full of laughter. We have been through a holiday season since our loss. I found out this weekend that the grief is still there. The grief still remains. It has dulled but it is still present.
Please pray for my friend and her family.
How do you handle grief?
Is there a “normal” period of grieving?
