TODAY IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US
Just a short entry to say that today is the day that God has given us to feel, to see, to hear, to understand, to seek, to find the beauty of God's Great Love.
At time, I find it hard to do the above statement, but I do know that God loves me, that God loves Kenny, God love you! God loves ME! Without God there is nothing!! With God there is everything.
With God we know our children are safe, happy, healthy and have the honor to be in Heaven today. With God we know all things are possible. With God we know we are surrounded by His Love. Sometimes we feel alone and we feel God is so far away, but in those times, all we have to do is look at the beauty around us. The flowers, the grass, the tress covered in green leaves. With God there is Beauty.
I have found it is hard to pray, but with God, all I have to do is say the Lord's Prayer. He taught us in the Bible how to pray and with that prayer God will gently lead us back to the time when we knew that God was with us always.
The Prayer:
Our Father, who art in Heave, Hollowed Be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth as it is Heaven.. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us as we forgive those who trangress against us. Lead Us Not into Tempation, but deliver us from evil, For thine is the Kingdom and Glory Forever and ever. AMEM
Just remember, as Jesus taught us how to pray, even if we can't pray as we used to be able to, we can still pray the prayer above. Then we will continue to grow in the love of Jesus. We will probably never know the reason's WHY our children left us so early in life, but this we do have is the HOPE that one day we will hold them again and tell them how much we love them, while we are waiting, we can know that they are safe in the arms of God.
May God Bless you and your family and your weeks to come.

God can even understand the unspoken prayers of your heart, those prayers that are impossible to put into words. They seem like groans to us but they are perfectly understandable to God. Even your tears can be a prayer. Hugs.
Thank you so much for posting this and I hope you find peace in prayer in your journey through this experience we are all going on.. love to you my friend.
You are very wise and your journal is very inspiring to me. A great way to start the day. Thank you. Truly your friend, Barb
Thank you Sandi....I always need the confirmation of His love and yes, I do say the Lord\'s Prayer...it is the perfect prayer...words fail me now and emotions take over...the Lord knows our hearts....I love you sweet friend....Dale, Brandon\'s Mom
Our God is an amazing God, and never fails to see me through. I have become a better person by being humbled, over the past few years, more humbled than the early years of raising Dana & Shaun alone. We never know what life has in store for us, but we do know there is a reason, although we find it difficult to understand why our children left before us - in keeping with your journal today, I say Praise God for our lives and for the time we had with our sons. Have a blessed day honey.
THAT IS MY FAVORITE PRAYER . YOU SOUND SO SAD TO ME. I FEEL SAD OM CERTAIN DAYS TO I HOPE TO TALK TO YOU SOOM. LOTS OF HUGS LOVE ZZZTOP
YES!!!!, The only way to go is to be close to God...It is sooo hard sometimes, but when I stay on the beam daily, it works really good... But my brain has become like I have short term memory loss lol. you kno what I mean.... It is such a struggle....If we read the \"lords prayer\" every morning, when we woke up, we would feel so much better...Thank you sandi for sharing, Love & Hugs, Kelly
