LOVE's Work In Our 3-6-5

  Ease For "THIS" Moment MY PRACTICE: Inhale Love • Exhale Grief • Rest in GOD Scripture: "And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope." — 1 Thessalonians 4:13 Some mornings arrive softly. Others arrive carrying the weight of love. Today is one of those days. A dear friend reminded me that there are holy things we do when someone we love is called home to the Lord. There are arrangements to make, decisions to consider, stories to remember, tears to shed, and moments to share with those who are grieving alongside us. These are not simply tasks to complete. They are acts of love. As I reflected on the life of a beloved husband, father, friend, and follower of Jesus, I was reminded that grief is the price of loving deeply.

Even during the times when we knocked heads, he still walked on water in my eyes. My Daddy worked hard. Very hard. As a child, I never heard him complain about it.

🌿 Return to ME (Lent 2026)

  🌿 Returning With Intention I SEE you. I see how you long to begin this season the right way. Not rushed. Not pressured. Not performing. Come closer. Lent is not a burden I place upon you. It is an invitation I extend to you. Return to Me — not in obligation, but in awareness. I KNOW where you have been distracted. I KNOW where you have grown weary. I KNOW the quiet spaces where you have tried to carry more than you were meant to carry. You do not return to impress Me. You return to rest in Me. Let humility be your posture — not shame. Let awareness be your doorway — not self-criticism. I am not asking you to prove your devotion. I am asking you to bring Me your heart. Ground yourself in My Presence before you choose your fast. Ground yourself in My love before you measure your discipline. I AM gracious. I AM compassionate. I AM nearer than your next breath. Begin here. Not striving. Not striving to fix yourself. Not striving to perform. Simply returni...
