Jerry always tells me, he has to pass first because he would not know what to do without me here.

Can't believe she's been in Heaven for a month already. Keep on putting one foot in front of the other as God guides.

I promise to continue to pray for you.

You have a good attitude, Lew. I know you'll make it. I love that song, "Press On". I think the Mississippi Singing Churchmen sing it. The words help me. God bless you.

Lew, wonder if someone has recommended “A Grief Observed” by CS Lewis? Also Dr. Alan Wolfelt is a great resource for grief share groups. Let me know if you find these. Blessings through your journey. And rest along the way.

Philippians 4:8. Whatever... My favorite excerpt from this book.
To provide the larger context, I have CC'd the verses immediately prior to that one:

Philippians 4:6-8
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

We are an extension of Christ's love among our circle of acquaintances and certainly among family and friends. Please never hesitate to reach out to me for a dose of brotherly love. I am always here.

In Calvary's Wake...

One day at a time, a grief share group is wonderful, I led one at Parkway after training with a grief counselor in Jackson.

We love you Lew and Know you miss Linda but also know she is without pain and enjoying life again. Praying for you!

Lew, I live my life by the phrase, “Do The Next Right Thing”. You are doing that by joining The Grief Share group. Will continue to pray that God leads you every step of the way. God still has plenty for you to do.
