On Thursdays I have been sharing old posts that I need to revisit. #TBT It is with a heavy grieving heart I revisit this one. I grieve my soul amnesia as I lament not having another opportunity to love a young friend well. This week our family and this world lost a dear soul at the age of 24. We celebrate his arrival in heaven, but many will miss him greatly including my family. When time gets cut short it is easy to see how much I get wrong daily with relationships, and how much I long to get it right. I am thankful that God’s mercies are new every morning and that relationships are worth the messes and efforts. There are so many gifts even in the fails. So I come back to this moment and remember that I need wisdom to know how to love well and grace for those moments that I fail. May we choose to remember what we forget so often.
