My heart is heavy today. I had another post lined up, but just couldn’t get my mind wrapped around it — so it will wait.

Two dear friends are grieving. One in the loss of a daughter. Another in the loss of a mother.

One is a mentor to me.

The other is someone that I hope I have in some way mentored.

Both losses  make me feel like someone has punched me in the gut. I’m brokenhearted in their loss.

This was the heart scripture of Allyson  … but it fits Patricia as well.

My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Until then, I’m resting on another verse from Psalm, chapter 30, verse 5 “Joy comes in the morning.” Thank you, Jesus for that promise.

Rest in peace, incredible ladies. This world will miss you.
