One simple sentence

One simple sentence or exchange of words can bring so much emotion to the surface. Our pastor, PK, has been preaching a sermon series that covers the spiritual tools that can equip you on handling grief. Even though I feel Cody and I are walking faithfully through our grief with hands held and faces towards Jesus, we still have sad moments. I think this happens for anyone dealing with a loss or sickness. Grief can be overwhelming. It can control your daily activities if you don't know how to handle or recover. So, Pastor Kevin's sermon really spoke to our hearts. He said one simple sentence that broke me down, but in a good way.

"He can never come back to you, but you will one day be able to go to him."

One powerful sentence. Even though I knew this already, just to hear someone say it out loud was moving. Tears began to stream down my face. What truth can be found in such a simple statement. Yes, it is true that there is nothing that Cody and I can do that will bring Hayes back to this Earth, but we can do everything in our power to be able to one day be reunited with him, kiss his precious little face, hold his hand, and sweep him up into our arms. WE must continue to live a faith filled life together. There will always be sad moments, but we need to call on Jesus in these moments so He can carry us out of the pit. He will wipe away our tears and remind us of our beautiful angel in Heaven that is watching and waiting on us. But I know in the meantime, Hayes is having a grand time and sending his love down to his Mommy and Daddy.
