This is so beautiful, so touching, and so truthful: "I’ve come to understand that God’s love is deeper than ours, His grief greater, and His nearness to the brokenhearted more real than we can truly fathom." AMEN! I agonized over my nephew for two years, and deeply ached for my sister and brother-in-law while they tried to navigate the trans-gender cults lies. Their son went down the trans rabbit hole and they did everything they could to pull him back out. My heart was heavy, I cried daily, I begged and pleaded to God for His help. I would wake up in the middle of the night and the first thing I thought of was my nephew. I was terrified of what he was going through or what he would do to his healthy body. I never knew if I would ever see him again. My faith is what helped me cope, but I still was overcome with worry as my sister's heart was broken. I know that over this last past year, God helped me every day to heal my own broken heart, to accept what I could not change in this life, and that nothing matters more in this world than my personal spiritual relationship with God. I have learned how to live in the NOW, how to be PRESENT, and I am grateful for every day I wake up, for every sunrise and sunset. Trust me, I no longer take anything for granted. I now tell my family and friends that I may not have tomorrow or next week or next month or next year but what I have is right NOW and I am cherishing every second of every minute of every day. God is with me, I am not alone, and I am blessed. I once heard a guest on Oprah's show about 20 years ago say: "LIFE IS NOT A HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY; LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH A HUMAN EXPEREINCE."
