When you’re back against the wall and you’re stressed and have no margin in your life for air or extra, what do you do?

You go back to what you know! 

My dad has been in heaven for 12 years now. When he passed from this world to heaven, he didn’t want a big funeral. In fact, he didn’t want a funeral at all! He was a strong and stubborn man, and his quote was, “if they didn’t spend time with me while I was alive, then there’s no need for them to show up when I’m dead!”

Instead, he wanted every little bit of money he had left, which wasn’t much, to go to all of his girls and their spouses and their children to do something fun together! So we went on a cruise and celebrated the life of my dad!

After that, in his memory, we put a small plaque down where his parents were buried and the saying that we chose to put on that plaque took no time at all to decide upon. 

My dad has four daughters, and every one of his daughters, and everyone of his grandchildren quickly looked at each other and quoted what my dad always said to us,  “What do you know for sure?” And the answer we always replied back to him was, “That you love us.“ 

Every time I miss my dad,  I repeat that phrase to myself. And my heart is filled with love from my earthly father.

When I am tired and have no more to give, when I am stressed out and nothing seems to make sense, and when I am frustrated and hurting, and nothing seems to heal or soothe, I remember what my Heavenly Father says to me.

“I will never leave you or forsake you.“. “I have loved you with an everlasting love. “Nothing in all creation, neither life nor death, nor principalities, nor powers, can separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord.”

I am quickly reminded and restored that there is no difficulty in life I go through that my heavenly father is not there for me. He is for me, and He is with me! And I can rest in that!
