Unseen

This year, my first year without my kids on Christmas day, have make me feel very sad. Have you gone through moments that you know is coming and there is nothing that you can do about it to change it? Like a surgery, a test for school, your visit to the dentist, lay off from work, confronts someone, and many other moments and experience in life that are sad and make us anxious?

Just remember to breath, someone was telling me that yesterday, just breath. That is a very good advice; sometimes we even forget we need to breath, a very important unseen thing that we cannot live without. In moments like this one, I know God is trying to teach me something, but I really do not understand Him. What there is to learn about this? What it is the point of a mother spends Christmas time without her children? All I know is that I need to trust in Him, because everything happened with purpose and for a good reason, right God???

In my book of everyday devotions, today’s topic remained me something; God is with me in all that I do. It said that when our focus is wide enough to include God in our thoughts, we feel safe and complete. How true is this. Yesterday, I was sitting outside in the emergency stairs in my 4^th floor building just looking outside and processing everything. I ask God to be with me in these hard times to come. I just sat there repeating the same thing. Suddenly, two girls (I don’t know their names) that work in the same building get out from the same emergency stairs where I was sitting. One of them looks at me and tells me “I need a hug” she comes to me and hugs me very hard and I hug her back very hard! At that moment, I realize that I am not alone, that God is with me all the time, even in the emergency stairs!

2 Corinthians 4:18

¹⁸ while we look not at the things, which are seen, but at the things, which are not seen; for the things, which are seen is temporal, but the things, which are not seen, are eternal.
