John 16: 22 So with you: now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
Jesus is still telling the disciples about his impending death and resurrection. He knows that they aren't fully prepared for the events to come, but he is doing his best to reassure them.
I'm here, cleaning the condo again before leaving for Christmas in Astor. It's sad, as each time I leave it becomes emptier. My time of grief is here too. I'm letting go of so much more than these four walls. A whole way of life has been lost to me.
Prayer: I need comfort. I need closure. Lord, I am asking for Your strength to guide me through the rest of my days on Earth. I look forward to the day of reunion with my loved ones in Your kingdom, but I need help to make the most of the rest of my life, starting with these moments right now.
Amen
