Saying Goodbye


Marjpearl Creations web site is open for browsing.

 
The card of the month for October is ‘Saying Goodbye’.  Usually those two words bring to mind loss, sadness and sometimes tears.

As children we remember moving away from our childhood homes and leaving our best friends behind. We just knew that we will never get over the pain and never have another best friend. Fast forward three months and we are doing just fine with new best friends and a whole new life. How quickly we rebound!

As teenagers our hearts got twisted into pretzels as we fell in love and with each break-up we listened to sad songs as tears flowed freely lamenting what we will never have: ‘happily ever after’.

We go through life experiencing the season of ‘saying goodbye’.  We have lost friends, husbands, parents, children, jobs, homes and the list goes on, but we have learned to deal with each loss through tears and sadness and we get up after each loss and keep on living. We can’t erase the memories; we never forget the fun times, sometimes we go back into the past to remember, we visit the gravesides, we write letters and we keep on going.

Dear friends, if you are going through a season of ‘saying goodbye’ right now just remember that:

God knows the ache in your heart. Do not allow discouragement and despair to take over. Rest in the assurance that He understands what you are going through.   One day you will smile again. One day you will know the reasons why. One day you will wake up and feel like living again.  From Card of the Month – Saying Goodbye
