God will carry you

I presided at a funeral today for a man in our congregation. He and his wife would have been married for 60 years in June. She was a mess today. After the service her son-in-law wheeled her out of the sanctuary while her daughter and grand daughters took care of her pocketbook, the pictures, her coat and everything else. Normally a very independent woman, today she let go and let others carry her through.

I thought about this afterwards and realized that sometimes we all need to do that. When troubles come we often struggle and try to fight our way through them. Maybe what we need to do is let go and let God take over. I'm not talking about being irresponsible. I'm simply suggesting that God wants what is best for us and we need to listen to him and let him guide us forward through the difficult times.

When we let God lead we can get through anything, anything all at all.

God bless. Cal.
