Coping Pt. 1

Greetings eWorld,

So many of you may know that my Dad passed away a few weeks ago. I have to say that this has been probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with. Everything from the actual funeral events to the constant reminders of the upcoming Father's Day--all of it has played its part in making this a hard for me.

But there has been a blessing in the midst of this whirlwind. It has forced me to reflect on life and how beautiful it is--how beautiful the design of the world is...how wondrous the spring colors are...how beautiful people can be (even New Jersey folks....rarely...lol). There are some people in this world that really embody that Galatians 6:1-2 kind of love. And it just feels so sincere. I tend to call those folks Angels on Earth. Everytime I think on them, I say to myself that they must have the purest of hearts. I marvel at just how loving they can be...even when I seem to have too much going on in my world.

So I began to think to myself, "this situation sounds eerily similar to another." Who else loves me soo much, even when I don't show it in return?? Thats when it hit me...that how my relationship with Jesus works out. And because of the similarities, I've concluded that these Angels on Earth were just being Jesus to me. They were and still are showing me the sincerest form of unconditional love....love in spite of....me. So I'm taking this time to thank YOU (and I don't have to tell you who you are because you already know). Thank you for holding on to me...thank you for thinking of me...thank you for praying for me. The Bible teaches us that the 'effectual fervant prayers of a righteous [wo]man availeth much' (James 5:16). Through your prayers, I've been strong, for both myself and my family.

YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME!!!!

Much love...

That Chunkyboi
