My boys, especially, my midd...A few quick thoughts:<br />My boys, especially, my middleman had many fears of forgetting what Dad looked like and forgetting memories. Pictures and keeping his name and stories of him alive by retelling them help. <br /><br />Once doing some grief drawing, my children shared that the biggest thing that diffentent about our life was the fact that we went shopping, all of us together. Jim usually did the shopping on the way home so I wouldn't need to do it with the little ones. <br /><br />Having those Little thoughts aren't denial, you are right, it is just natural thinking for a woman who became one flesh with her husband. <br /><br />Sermon or Sunday school notes are precious. When my youngest was going to preach at PreachFest it was encouraging to him to see and read his dad's sermon notes of sermons he preached. <br /><br />Hugs to you and thank you for sharing the quote from the widow book. This is from a story the LORD impressed upon my heart to write for my children. It describes my thoughts on when Jim saw Jesus. <br /><br />"Jesus was just smiling down at the man and then wrapped His arms around him. The man had many questions. But the Lord just smiled and said, “Let’s go home; my Father has it all taken care of. Don’t worry; He heard your prayers. They are safe in His arms.”<br /><br />I think you will do wonderful in that Christian writer's group. Praying for you! <br />Enough random thoughts, good night!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155383233560215768noreply@blogger.com
