God is so personal and does give us many gifts. Thank you for your comforting words.

After one loss, in particular, the gift arrived before the loss, but I didn’t know it at the time. It was the gift of time, one last amazing conversation. God slowed me down, and I sat.

In reply to Lois Flowers. Yep. I often cried reading your blog, Lois, when you talked about your mom. I'm glad there's no shame in crying. It is often just what the doctor ordered.

In reply to Melody. I am SO sorry that you recently lost your husband, Melody. :( How very sad. May God bless you as you grieve his loss.

Oh, Lisa…I loved this line: “Even today, Jesus still sees. Even when you don’t know what to ask for, He knows exactly what you need.” So true. I witnessed this firsthand just today.
I would not have wanted a physical resurrection for my mom in the body she had when she died either. Blessings to you, dear friend!

Aw, Lisa … I clicked on the link about your mom dying and now I’m crying too. The tears come at random times, as you well know, but I think they are part of God’s healing process. He knows exactly what we need, and sometimes what we need are tears. Brought on by reading someone else’s story. Thank you, my friend.

“There’s nothing impersonal about God.” I love that! So true.

I just lost my husband Daniel, September 12, 2020. Our God is definitely a “personal God!” Thank you Lisa for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak
through what you share online. God Bless You!

Lisa, I love the way you bring out that God is a “personal” God. He is not one size fits all, and engages with us on such a personal level according to our need. When going through a difficult trial, it’s so comforting to know He sees “me” and knows “me” not just someone like me. Thank you for this encouragement!

If I could do it all again,
would I walk this road,
thorned about by bitter pain,
freighted hard by cancer’s load?
Or would I choose what came before,
that life of vast ambition
which I suspect was open door
to my soul’s perdition?
The question seems to answer
itself, and thereby teach a lesson
that facing death from cancer
is more than just a blessing,
for now I’ve seen beyond the veil,
and know true meaning of life’s tale.

God is so personal, and He knows our needs before we ask. We can trust Him to work miracles, the impossible, even when hope seems lost and we are grieving. Wonderful reflection, Lisa!
Blessings!
