"God doesn't give us more than we can handle.." September 11th, 2022.

 I haven’t shared much recently. Truth be told I’m not doing ok this week. My mother’s memorial is this Thursday and then we lay her to rest at the cemetery in Lexington that afternoon.

Today’s sermon at church hit me to my core. “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle…” I agree, while well-meaning, it’s not the best thing to say, to someone who is grieving and best to avoid mentioning during a memorial or funeral.

Being there, just being in the moment with someone who is grieving means more than you know. Words are not always required to show your support.

If you feel called to, you’re welcome to give today’s service a listen and if in the area, join me next week at the 9am contemporary service, at First United Methodist Church Blue Springs.

This church has been a very accepting and supportive environment. I’m thankful for those I’ve met here and the peace attending has brought me.
