I'm seriously depressed tonight. After a joyous day with my family, it was time to wrap up and go to bed. Although unpleasant, it was an inevitable reality; our brief vacation is over. In the morning, we'll say goodbye to my dear brother and send him on his way back to his home and life in Florida. The kids were taking it pretty hard and I couldn't help but cry as well. Why does distance between our two segments of the family have to be so great? Why are we graced with each others' company only once every year or few?
I never realized how much I genuinely miss my family until we get together. Then, around the last full day of the visit, I start falling apart inside. It's an aching in my heart that just doesn't want to let go. It feels wrong to say good bye to family.
Thankfully, our God never changes and we always have full access to Him through Jesus. I'm going to turn to Him for comfort as I dream tonight.
Hebrews 13:8 (New International Version)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Good Night
