Tuesday's Trust - Grace Amidst Sorrow in My Soul...





Tuesday's Trust


Grace Amidst Sorrow in My Soul...






I did not go through pain and come out the other side;

instead, I lived in it and found within that pain

the grace to survive and eventually grow.

I did not get over the loss of my loved ones;

rather, I absorbed the pain into my life,

like soil receiving decaying matter,

until it became a part of who I am.

Sorrow took up permanent residence in my soul

and enlarged it.
