Visit

Yesterday, I visit a friend that recently lost her fiancé in a motorcycle accident. As I was driving there I start thinking, what I can tell her? I definitely cannot say, “I know what are going through” because is not true, that never happened to me. I could say, “I am sorry” but that will be sound like empty. I keep thinking what I can tell her to try to make her feel better, without smash up her feelings more than I guess already are.  As I arrive to her house, I was even afraid to hug her too hard (she was in the accident too). As we sat and talk, I can see her emptiness from her lost, but also I can see a lot of love. She has so much love to give. I see strength and hope in her. I am guessing she is a very strong woman and even she told me, God do not give us things that we cannot handle, and she is right. Just be there with her helps her a lot, but what she doesn’t know is that being there with her help me a lot too!

We sometimes try to find pretty words to tell other people, but the real thing is that there some occasions that with our presence, words are not necessary. I believe that things always happened for a good reason, no matter how difficult or hard to understand can be the situation, there is always a good reason, even if is a lesson that we need to learn. I believe God have big plans for each of us, but if we don’t give Him time (something very hard for me), we do not give the chance to God to work on us, and sometime we made wrong decision that backward that big plans from God. The best thing is that God make one day after the other, so if today I did something wrong or make a wrong choice, there is always a tomorrow to fix it and start all over again.

I pray for my friend that God may keep giving her strength and hope in her life, so she can keep living in His faith and taking care of her precious kids that need her so much.

Psalm 39:7

⁷ And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.
