Allow Them To Grieve

When our loved ones are grieving, sometimes, we are at a loss about comforting them.  Yes, we may say things such as, “he/she is in a better place now,” or, “at least he/she is no longer in (physical) pain,” or even, “time will heal the pain” and while these things may or may not be so after we have said these words where do we go from there?

One of the best things that we could do for them is to allow them to grieve.

You see, the truth is, there is not much more that we could say or do to stop them from being in this state of sadness. Therefore, we should allow them to grieve.

They are sad, and they should be allowed to be unhappy. Yes, we should not force our loved ones to be happy before they are ready to accept it.

Although we want them to stop hurting, usually, the best remedy for them is for them to grieve.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

Burkina Faso – In Need

Many countries around the world are advising their citizens not to visit Burkina Faso, at this time, unless it is an essential trip. It is mainly due to the unrest in the country. The is a country faced with many troubles. Citizens and visitors alike are being killed, yet travellers ignore these government-issued advisories and go headlong into the country.  In December 2018, the government here declared a state of emergency for specific places in the country. And earlier this year, they extended this emergency by six months. In January 2019, the Prime Minister and his cabinet quit.
