It’s been a good day filled with normal life. It’s hard to think about a normal day without Kayleigh. It catches me now and again, usually coming from the least expected sources. Seeing children’s clothes in the store, or a toy that I see and think about buying her for Christmas – before I realize she isn’t here to buy it for. Oh how I want to hold her precious face in my hands again.
And while those things are so very hard, God continues to bring stories to our attention about the difference Kayleigh’s story has made. Peoples lives and attitudes that her story has touched and changed. And somehow, those stories help. They ease the pain just a little. So, instead of drowning in grief I hold tight to my heavenly Father. He keeps my head above water and joy in my heart. No matter the situation, I have cause to be thankful.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
