I've been walking a hard path along side my darling friend who recently lost her husband. (Why do we say someone "lost" someone who passed away? It's not like we don't know where he is, we do. Or why do they refer to someones spouse that passed away as their "late" spouse, Jon isn't late. He's with my Savior, if anything we are late to the party. But that's another blog, another day.) I've struggled through the whys and how could yous of this hard time, my dear friend and I have cried together, laughed together, sat quietly together and made a heck of a mess together too. And yet one common theme still rings in our conversations. Life is hard right now. Life doesn't make sense sometimes. But, sometimes, it makes complete sense.
Today I had the pleasure of going on a quick car trip with my friend. I had the honor of just sitting and listening as she spoke. As she shared what's been happening in her world. I can't even fathom it, it doesn't seem real all the time...and yet, here we are. Tears were brimming my eyes as she shared and I shared some of what has been going on in my heart too. All the while the radio was playing in the background. Every new topic we discussed it was like God was handpicking out lyrics for us to hear. The main theme of all of the songs was pure truth. Christ endured a hard life that we might have life in Him, He will never leave us, We are never alone. And that, if nothing else right now, makes perfect sense.
This is one of the songs that was playing as we spoke:
You'll Never Be Alone
