Today I am grateful for these words from Catherine Malotky in the WELCA Blog - Daily Grace:
Our celebration does not come without grief, however. There is no Easter without Good Friday. Those who loved Jesus and who saw him put to death on the cross grieved him deeply; they prepared his body for burial having no idea what was to come Easter morning. Even though we have the benefit of knowing the rest of the story—that death is not the end—this knowledge does not make the pain of our own personal Good Fridays any easier.
And the pains of Good Fridays come in many and varied ways. Grief. Fear. Anger. Exhaustion. Irreparable relationship breaks. Illness.
And boy can I relate to the last one, as I spent most all day in bed, sick! Could this be the way my body has finally said - enough for a while!? Yikes!!! Not the virus, but not good, either. Prayers you all are well!!
Blessings. And prayers.
