BONUS-DAILY BREAD SHARE OF THE DAY
Grief, God, and Gratitude
We find ourselves living in a time of significant grief. In addition to our personal challenges and losses, we face a historic pandemic, political strife, rekindled racial tensions, and economic uncertainty.
This is a season of deep grief, a grief that at times feels unyielding. However, we must also find a way to allow it to become a time of sincere gratitude. If we are to negotiate the grips of pain that lead to despair, our grief must learn to surrender to gratitude. We will never be completely finished with loss, but if there is to be healing and hope or the possibility of “shattered expectations” being redeemed, we must find, amid the pain, things for which we can say “thank you.”

Thank you my friend, SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL for this Bonus Daily Bread Share of the Day, covering "Grief, God, and Gratitude"! It is the times we live in, where those who seek power or who are in power, want more of the same and wish to rule the world... So against the teachings of the Bible in my view...

No matter what I am grateful to be here, to have met the people I did, have those who are in my life for whatever time they have here and to be able to continue to do good at this point in my life.
