Psalm 34:18

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

There are many things that can leave us broken hearted. The loss of a dad or mom, a sibling or any human. The loss of an animal that was family too. The loss of a friendship or job. The loss of life not turning out the way we thought. The list goes on.

Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”

CHANGE ~ we mourn the way things used to be. I used to stand on my porch as a 18 year old girl, waiting for my dad to turn the corner. He died suddenly in our home and would never turn the corner again. I never saw a dead person before my dad. So many questions and so young. Would my heart ever heal? It would never be the same again.

In death, it affects the immediate family but also others. Sometimes the person who died, has a will. This can also divide people. Things you think are left to one person but left to someone else. For example , when I was a teenager, my aunt Pearl had this beautiful beaded picture of a Christmas tree. I wanted it and she said when I died. I was upset and said can I have it now? She said no. Then years would pass and she died. No, I never got the picture. My uncle said no and also a no on videos of my brother and I when we were kids. All those pictures gone and left everything to his in come care worker, even his newer car when he died.

Yes, it’s just material things but Pictures mean a-lot to me and I don’t have but a couple pictures. It was childhood videos and my heart still feels sad. I’ll didn’t understand why. It’s ok because years have passed and i keep precious memories inside my head.

I’ve also been broken hearted over my own decisions of life. Wishing I had done somethings different. But I now believe all my decisions have brought me to this moment of life. I choose to live in this day! Thanking God for helping me get through heart breaking things. I know it’s not easy.

Hold on to your dreams, new beginnings and God helping you through sorrows too. I will keep the readers of my blog in my prayers daily.

Blessings, Sparkie
