Matteus 5:4-6

Encouragement from a mom who launched her seven children and lived to tell about it. Part 4 of 12 devotions in this series from Robin Meadows.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.

Death affects us all but how do we cope when we lose a loved one? This plan provides hope and comfort in the midst of grief.

Grief is hard to understand or explain. When I lost my husband, it was like combining sadness and loneliness with anxiety over what tomorrow would bring and fear of how I could possibly handle it all. If you find yourself struggling with grief, know you’re not alone. As I share in my novel The Shell Collector, God is always with us through pain and will help us navigate the path.
