Mourn with those who mourn

[TLHKAJ]

Yes, our World is one of ongoing tragedy and heartbreak. It affects us all.......yet through it, God's people are comforted with a hope that outshines the Sun. Let us cling to that hope unflinchingly......and in a short while we will see and declare that our suffering are not worthy to be compared to the glory revealed in us. Romans 8:18

I have every intention of listening to the songs you posted T. You posted them for a reason. Sometime later this evening when things are quiet, I'll put on his playlist. If you have not yet listened to the SCC album above, please do so, you may find some comfort there.

I would have never asked, but I am so glad to hear that your Matthew went to be with Jesus.

As I have discovered most recently, it is possible to have tears of sorrow and joy falling together at the same time.
God is good like that.

Rejoice T, you are one of the blessed ones, you will see your son again.

It's a profound truth that tears of joy can exist alongside tears of deep grief. I had an experience several months after Matt went home. I was laying in my bed weeping so hard I felt like my insides would burst when all the sudden, I caught a brief glimpse of what Matt was experiencing that very moment. It was glorious beyond words, in the presence of the Lord, worshiping Him face to face. It was only a few seconds but almost more than I could handle. I went from total deep sorrow to overwhelming joy and worship in a split second. I will never forget that!
