“For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.”
2 Corinthians 5:19 NLT

It was a strained relationship with my Father after my Mother died. He and I were dealing with sorrow privately. Love was still there, but pain separated us. It’s hard to recover from irreversible loss.
We learned from each other in different ways. I believe God drew us closer as the years went by. We learned to laugh again. Thank You Jesus for being our comfort. Thank You Holy Spirit for Your kind and gentle nature.
